Df(1)Hmr−, y w v/FM6; Nup96−/TM3 D. melanogaster females were crossed to males indicated in the first column. Progeny of crosses are as diagrammed in Figure 1. Some crosses produced B Hw males, as described originally by Hutter (1990) and proposed to be of mosaic origin. Among live progeny only, crosses produced the following: cross 1, 20+, and 1 Sb; cross 2, 3+, and 1 Sb; cross 3, 7+, and 0 Sb; cross 4, 3+, and 0 Sb; cross 5, 4+, and 0 Sb; cross 6, none; cross 7, none; cross 8, 4+, and 0 Sb; cross 9, 6+, and 0 Sb; cross 10, 2+, and 0 Sb; cross 11, 1+, and 0 Sb; cross 12, none; cross 13, 8+, and 0 Sb; cross 14, 2+, and 0 Sb. NS, not significant. *P < 0.01; ***P < 0.0001.

The significance of differences in the two classes of Df(1)Hmr− males compared to Df(1)Hmr−/+ females was tested using Fisher's exact test (one tailed).
