Deletion of 105bp, resulting in the loss of exon III, which deletes one of the 42bp elements that is tandemly repeated in wild-type Dsim\Dox.
The sex ratio of progeny derived from Dsim\DoxΔ105 males is 54% and no abnormal spermatid heads are seen.
Dsim\DoxΔ105 Dsim\Nmy1427 males do not show sex ratio distortion (the sex ratio of the progeny of double mutant males raised at 16[o]C is 54%). All stages of spermatid maturation appear to be normal in these double mutant males.
