      Lethal to males in the absence of a Y chromosome. Recessive lethal in XX females.

      (Cline, 2001)

      Hemizygous males show the same viability as the non-bbflex-3 siblings. Recessive female lethality acts primarily at the embryonic stage with some individuals reaching the first instar larval stage.
