Scer\FRT-mediated recombination between the two progenitor insertions (PBac{WH}CG43783f04965 and PBac{WH}orb2f01556) has deleted the genomic sequence between them, resulting in a deletion of orb2 sequence.

100% of testes in mutant males contain misoriented spermatid cysts.
Overall testis morphology is normal in mutant males. Pre-meiotic stages of spermatogenesis appear normal, but defects are seen at later stages. Spermatocytes fail to undergo the G2-M transition of meiosis I: chromosomes show only partial condensation they do not congress to the metaphase plate. Mutant spermatids and their nuclei are abnormally large and the Nebenkern are abnormally shaped and sometimes fragmented. Overall DNA content is increased compared to wild type, due to the failure to complete meiosis. The axoneme bundles of mutant spermatids are rough and uneven, shorter than normal and zigzag back and forth. The individualisation complex is not formed, although scattered triangular shaped actin cones are seen. Individualisation of the sperm does not take place.
