pex12f01300 mutant testes contain many spermatocytes and some 'cotton ball'-like spheres but completely lack elongated spermatid bundles and mature sperm. The mutant testes appear much thinner and longer on the seventh day after eclosion than they do immediately after eclosion.
pex12f01300 mutants display growth defects, with mutants exhibiting a 2-day delay in eclosion.
pex12f01300 mutant spermatocytes go through G1/S phase normally but do not reach the G2/M transition.
