Heterozygous males that have previously courted non-receptive females show a significant reduction in courtship index compared to control males that have not undergone conditioning (as occurs in wild-type males).
Brains from larvae either homozygous or hemizygous (over Df(3R)Exel6167) for timeoutc06976 consistently exhibited a substantial increase in the number of metaphases with chromosome aberrations compared to controls.
Chromosome breakage is significantly increased compared to wild-type in larval brains under hydroxyurea (HU)-induced deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate (dNTP) pool depletion in homozygous timeoutc06976 mutants.
Circadian light entrainment is different from controls in timeoutc06976 heterozygotes compared to controls. Heterozygous timeoutc06976 flies are significantly more reactive than their corresponding controls in the advance zone at Zeitgeber time 19 and 21.
timeoutc06976 has chromosome | larval stage phenotype, enhanceable by mei-4129D
Larval brains from mei-4129D; timeoutc06976 double mutants show a dramatic increase in the frequency of aberrant metaphases with respect to either single mutant. The prevalent defect of in mei-4129D; timeoutc06976 mutant brains consists of metaphases with extensive chromosome fragmentation, a phenotype rarely observed in either mei-4129D or timeoutc06976 single mutants.
