In(1)AB, w/FM6,w; P{Hmr2t8.0}/+ females were crossed to D. simulans w501 males. Three classes of sibling progeny with and without the P{Hmr2t8.0} transgene are produced and were compared for viability. All comparisons are not significantly different from a 1:1 ratio (χ2 test, P > 0.05). Two independent transformant lines were tested.
