Imprecise excision of the progenitor P{lacW}SxlM1,fPw+c insertion results in a deletion of Sxl DNA from +3,410 to +7,947 (0 corresponds to the Sxl[[Pm]] transcription start site).
Deletion resulting from the imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion, which extends from +3410 to +7947 relative to the Sxl[[Pm]] transcription start site.
Sxlf7,M1/SxlM1,fΔ33 females display masculinized external and internal somatic morphology and body size. The only hints of somatic femininity are a few small sixth-sternite bristles and about 25% fewer sexcomb teeth than seen in true males.
SxlM1,fΔ33 suppresses the dominant male-specific lethality of SxlM1.
SxlM1,fΔ33 supports wild-type oogenesis in homozygous mutant germline clones.
Sxlf7,M1 and SxlM1,fΔ33 fail to complement for female viability if exosed to 18[o]C during early embryogenesis or if exposed to 30[o] during the pupal period.
SxlM1,fΔ33/Sxlf7,M1 has abnormal sex-determination | female limited phenotype, suppressible | partially by traF.U2af50
SxlM1,fΔ33/Sxlf7,M1, traF.U2af50 has abnormal sex-determination | female limited phenotype, suppressible by Dp(1;3)sn13a1
traF.U2af50 feminizes Sxlf7,M1/SxlM1,fΔ33 mutants without increasing their size. Sxlf7,M1/SxlM1,fΔ33 ; traF.U2af50/+ females have large ovaries full of mature eggs, but they fail to lay.
Virgin Sxlf7,M1/SxlM1,fΔ33 ; traF.U2af50/+ females rescued by traF.U2af50 do lay eggs, some depositing nearly as many eggs as some of their mated sisters.
