Test for complementation of Df(1)Hmr⁻ female viability and fertility defects by In(1)AB

Genotype (no. of females at start)	Viability relative to Na (mean no. of progeny/female ± SD)b
		Day 5	Day 10	Day 15	Day 20	Day 25
In(1)AB,w/Hmr1r1	0.90	0.86	0.82	0.80	0.68
(N = 92)	(78.5 ± 14.8)	(51.6 ± 19.2)	(33.3 ± 21.1)	(10.6 ± 15.6)	(1.3 ± 4.1)
In(1)AB,w/Df(1)Hmr−	0.94	0.87	0.84	0.75	0.68

Single females of the indicated genotypes were mated to two wild-type males and processed as in Table 2. Crosses were done at 27°.

^aN dropped during the course of the experiment [to 66 at day 25 in the crosses with In(1)AB, w/Hmr^1r1 and to 71 at day 25 in the crosses with In(1)AB, w/Df(1)Hmr⁻], primarily due to lethality of the males. The difference in the proportions of live and dead females between the w⁺ and w classes was tested by a one-tailed Fisher's exact test. All tests were nonsignificant (P > 0.05).

^bFor average fertility, the difference between the w⁺ and w classes was tested by a one-tailed t-test. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001, respectively. SD, standard deviation.
