Complementation of hibris alleles by deficiency strains.

A panel of seven deficiencies were crossed to a69, hbs66, hbs361, hbs459, hbs1130, hbs2593 and cn1 bw1 to test for complementation of the a69 mutant phenotype. The number of ommatidia counted expressing Rh5 or Rh6, Total counted, and % Rh5 are indicated in the table. The control for comparison was homozygous a69 mutants. The deficiencies failed to complement the tested genotype (shaded rows) or complemented the tested genotype (white rows). Complementation was defined as significantly greater Rh5% than (SGT) a69 homozygous mutant at the p value shown using a one-tailed test. Statistical comparisons of strains were carried out as described in Materials and Methods. Values for the a69 mutant are indicated at the bottom of the table. Crosses having results that differed from a69 are noted (Exceptions). (XLSX)
