✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A male‐sterile mutant, ms(1)7, of Drosophila melanogaster is defective in post‐ejaculatory sperm function. The mutant gene is located at one of at least five male fertility loci in 18F through section 20 of the polytene X‐chromosome. It is proposed that the ms(1)7 ^+^ gene product modifies a component of the sperm head. A nearby gene may be functionally related to ms(1)7^+^.

## Abstract The __fruitless__ (__fru__) gene is a member of the __Drosophila melanogaster__ somatic sex determination genetic pathway. Although it has been hypothesized that the primary function of __fru__ is to regulate a genetic hierarchy specifying development of adult male courtship behavior, g
