N, number of brains scored; n, total number of scorable anaphases.

aFor ring-X or ring-XY chromosomes, homolog capture might be influenced by whether the homolog is an X or Y. In the majority of cases, brains of female larvae were scored (11/13 for R(1)2, 5/6 for R(1;Y)6AX2, and 6/11 for R(1;Y)11AX2). However, definitive examples of homolog capture were only observed with R(3).

bMost of these were early anaphase, where the chromosomes had not separated sufficiently to determine whether there was a bridge.
