Heterozygotes with Df(3R)red3l are fertile. Female homozygotes are viable and fertile and male homozygotes have a defect in spermatid flagella axoneme structure.
primary spermatocytes from homozygous males appear to undergo meiosis normally; onion stage cysts have the regular array of uniformly sized nuclei and mitochondrial derivatives. Axonemes are defective, lacking the accessory tubule and its associated beak-shaped projection which normally grows from the B-subfibre of each outer doublet. The axonemes therefore lack the pinwheel pattern typical of normal mid-to-late stage axonemes.

wrl1 is an enhancer of phenotype of βTub85Dunspecified
Selected as: a mutation that fails to complement class I alleles at the βTub85D locus (either βTub85D3 or βTub85DDrv1) but does not map to the βTub85D locus.
wrl1 fails to complement βTub85D10 and βTub85D11 and complements βTub85D6, βTub85D7 and βTub85D9.
