The Df(3L)iro-2 chromosome does not act as a dominant suppressor of telomeric silencing (assayed using the effect of the chromosome on the eye colour phenotype of flies carrying "P{wvar}KR3-2", a stable "brown-red" variant of the P{3'WP-2,wvar}2Lt insertion).
Heterozygosity for Df(3L)iro-2 results in 8.5% X chromosome nondisjunction and 3.4% fourth chromosome nondisjunction in In(1)FM7/X ; svspa-pol females.
Homozygous embryos have normal gut morphology.
In female D.simulans/D.melanogaster hybrids heterozygous for Df(3L)iro-2 the anterior notopleural bristle, presutural bristle, posterior notopleural bristle, anterior postalar bristle, posterior dorsocentral bristle, anterior dorsocentral bristle, and the posterior postalar bristle are lost at a high frequency compared to female D.simulans/D.melanogaster hybrid controls, when grown at 25oC. At 18oC only the posterior supraalar bristle and the anterior supraalar bristle are affected.
Homozygous lethal.
Isolated as a mutation that alters the pattern of bristles when doubly heterozygous with Df(4)M101-62f.
