Attached-X stocks appear to be deficient in a small region, probably heterochromatic, which is normally covered by an homologous region on the short arm of the Y chromosome. There is an homologous deficiency in the ec dx stock Y chromosome. When this Ys deficiency occurs in crosses involving attached-X stocks, the matroclinous females are not recovered.
