Nonreciprocal results observed in complementation tests

Doa alleles Female Survival Phenotype of heteroallelic survivors

EMS-3 No survivors
105/I5 105 + Predominantly males observed, with rough eyes, held-out and fragile wings, postalar bristles duplicated, missing scutellar or ocellar bristles, slight sexual transformations of females: disorganization of vaginal bristles

04743 No survivors
DEM/198-14 DEM No survivors
198-14 + Postalar bristles duplicated, scutellar bristles forked-like

04743 No survivors
HD/s2784 HD + Blackened areas on wings
S2784 No survivors

γ3A No survivors
CC/E786 CC + Only females recovered, rough eyes, postalar bristles duplicated, missing scutellar bristles, disorganization of vaginal bristles
E786 No survivors
RemγA/γ3A RemγA + Rough eyes, dorso-central or scutellar bristles missing, wings slightly curly, less translucent with small ectopic veins generally posterior to L2, disorganization of vaginal bristles

01705 No survivors

All heteroallelic survivors possessed wild-type red eyes due to suppression of wa to near normal pigment levels.
