Single gypsy insert in the second intron at a site identical to the gypsy insert of fX.
Insertion of gypsy element.
gypsy insertion.
A member of the right hand group of alleles. Contains a gypsy insert in a 3.8 kb EcoRI restriction fragment (Parkhurst and Corces, 1985) and 3.2 kb from a particular SalI restriction site (McLachlan, 1986). Orientation of gypsy element opposite that of the gene.
Compared to controls, homozygous mutants show a reduced response to an auditory stimulus mimicking flies' courtship song.
Larvae exhibit a weak bristle phenotype within the denticles of all rows.
The f1 phenotype is not suppressed in flies carrying su(Hw)wt or su(Hw)Δ656-705 in a su(Hw)7/su(Hw)V background, partly suppressed in flies carrying su(Hw)Δ706-736, su(Hw)Δ673-943, su(Hw)Δ853-880 or su(Hw)Δ881-944 in a su(Hw)7/su(Hw)V background, and strongly or completely suppressed in flies carrying su(Hw)Δ2-203.673-943, su(Hw)Δ738-780, su(Hw)Δ2-203 or su(Hw)Δ782-944 in a su(Hw)7/su(Hw)V background.
Mild f bristle phenotype. Bristle phenotype is under the control of a second site modifier.
Flies have forked bristles. Phenotype is unaffected by mod(mdg4)ul.
moderate - moderate with both macrochaetae and microchaetae clearly affected suppressed by su(f) suppressed by su(Hw)2
f1 su(f)4 males and females are f+ at 17-18oC. f1 su(f)4/f1 su(f)1 females are f+, like f1 su(f)1/f1 su(f)1, at all temperatures. f1 su(f)2/f1 su(f)1 females are f+ at 24-25oC. f1 su(f)2/f5 su(f)1 females show suppression of the f mutant phenotype similar to that seen in f1 su(f)1/f5 su(f)1 females at 24-25oC. At 20-30oC, the f1 su(f)2/f5 su(f)1 combination shows suppression of the f mutant phenotype but bristles are Minute-like.
