ms(2)0570405704 homozygous males are sterile and show spermatid defects.
Mutants show male sterility, with highly elongated, immobile, blebbed sperm tails, disrupted individualisation complexes and scattered spermatid nuclei.
Elongated spermatid nuclei are dispersed.
Separable from: P{PZ}peo05704.
The male sterility of the '05704' chromosome (represented in FlyBase by ms(2)0570405704 does not map to the P{PZ}peo05704 insertion; males transheterozygous for the P{PZ}peo05704 insertion and Df(2R)B5 (a deficiency that uncovers peo) are fully fertile.
