Complementation of a69 by deficiency strains.

A panel of thirty three deficiency stains were crossed to a69 to test for complementation. 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. Compared to a69 (right column) each deficiency over a69 was either not significantly different (NSD) or significantly different from (SDF) a69 at the p value stated. 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. Deficiency strains failing to complement a69, which are not statistically significantly different from a69, or having a % Rh5 significantly lower than a69 are shaded. (XLSX)
