Genetic interactions between tw1 and rt mutant alleles. (A) The suppression of rt mutant phenotype by the tw1 allele. The following numbers of flies were analyzed for shown genotypes: males rtP/rtP, 73 flies; males tw1/Y; rtP/rtP, 35 flies; females rtP/rtP, 30 flies; females tw1/+; rtP/rtP, 83 flies; males rt571/rt571, 139 flies; males tw1/Y; rt571/rt571, 143 flies; females rt571/rt571, 62 flies; females tw1/+; rt571/rt571, 157 flies; males rtP/rt571, 131 flies; males tw1/Y; rtP/rt571, 156 flies; females rtP/rt571, 45 flies; females tw1/+; rtP/rt571, 73 flies; males rtP/rt2, 59 flies; males tw1/Y; rtP/rt2, 67 flies; females rtP/rt2, 50 flies; females tw1/+; rtP/rt2, 124 flies. Error bars indicate standard deviations. (B) The phenotype of tw1 homo-/hemizygous mutants is not significantly influenced by the level of rt activity. The following numbers of flies were analyzed for shown genotypes: males −tw1/Y, 99 flies; tw1/Y; rt571/+, 116 flies; tw1/Y; rt571/rt571, 70 flies; females −tw1/tw1, 90 flies; tw1/tw1; rt571/+, 102 flies; tw1/tw1; rt571/rt571, 63 flies. To minimize potential influence of different genetic backgrounds, all these flies were obtained from the same cross: tw1/Y; rt571/+ × tw1/tw1;rt571/+. Error bars indicate standard deviations.
