Sex-ratio distortion has been investigated in males carrying the Y(M)-linked meiotic-drive gene D, from three different strains (Bozo, Caracas and Trinidad), paired with Chipei X-chromosomes highly sensitive to D. The effect of D was tested on its own and also associated with a 1-3 translocation (designated TI). The fertility of males homozygous and heterozygous for the translocation, with and without D, was also investigated
