Position of mutation on reference sequence inferred by FlyBase curator based on author statement. Taken from figure 4 of FBrf0127203.
Mutants show an elevated frequency of X chromosome nondisjunction in females. Most or all of the nondisjunction events involve achiasmate chromosomes in the first meiotic division. An equal number of diplo-X and nullo-X progeny are seen, indicating that meiotic chromosome loss is not a significant factor. Second chromosome nondisjunction is also elevated. The gametic frequency of simultaneous X and second chromosome nondisjunction is greater than 62%. The frequency of crossing over is reduced in homozygous females. Crossing over is reduced by a similar degree on both the X chromosome and the left arm of the second chromosome. The reduction in crossing over is not uniform along each chromosome arm. On the second chromosome, crossing over is reduced more in distal regions rather than in proximal regions. Precocious anaphase is seen in homozygous mature oocytes.
mei-217g10 has abnormal meiotic cell cycle | recessive phenotype, suppressible by mei-41D18
mei-217g10 is an enhancer of female sterile | recessive phenotype of spn-BBU
mei-217g10 has meiosis I | female phenotype, suppressible by mei-41D18
In mei-217g10 mei-41D18 double mutants a metaphase arrest is seen in mature oocytes (as occurs in wild type).
Selected as: a mutation with an elevated frequency of X chromosome nondisjunction in females.
