Eggs laid by sraA426/sra619 mothers are usually arrested in anaphase I but a few eggs appear to be in meiosis II. The two spindles observed in such eggs are parallel to one another and they are usually asynchronous, with one in metaphase and the other in anaphase. In a few sraA426/sra619 eggs, some pycnotic chromosomes appear to separate from the main spindle and nucleate secondary spindles.
sraA108/sra619 eggs are fertilized by sperm as the sperm nucleus can be observed inside the egg. However, the male pronucleus in fertilized eggs is much smaller than that of fully decondensed wild-type male pronuclei seen prior to pronuclear fusion.
Revertants demonstrate the P{lacW} insertion causes the female sterile phenotype.
