Abstract excerpt
Combinations of certain mutant alleles of the ovarian tumor gene permit the production of viable eggs. Two alleles that behave in this way are otu7 and otu11. Females homozygous for either allele are sterile, and their ovarian nurse cells (NC) contain giant polytene chromosomes of various morphol...
