      When ord8/ord10 female flies with normal X chromosomes are subjected to a 4-day aging regimen (after collection of virgin females and feeding with yeast paste overnight, the virgin females are kept for 4 days in the absence of males, which results in the majority of oocytes halting in developmental progression and aging within the female abdomen, as oviposition is suppressed), sex chromosome nondisjunction is significantly greater in aged oocytes than in non-aged oocytes. The majority of nondisjunction events are reductional in both aged and non-aged oocytes.

      Meiotic crossovers on the X chromosomes are substantially reduced in ord8/ord10 oocytes; the total map distance is reduced to 20% or less of the wild type value.

      (Subramanian and Bickel, 2009)

      Females exhibit high levels of sex chromosome missegregation compared to males. Missegregation in ord8/ord1, ord8/ord2 or ord8/ord6 flies is greater than that observed in ord8 hemizygotes in males and females: negative complementation with ord1, ord2 and ord6.
