From: Two genomic regions together cause dark abdominal pigmentation in Drosophila tenebrosa

Figure 3

Mean pigmentation scores of the F2 haplotypes derived from the two QTL with large effects on pigmentation. The letters denote the two alleles (S: D. suboccidentalis, T: D. tenebrosa), with S and T indicating hemizygous state of the X-chromosome in males, and SS, ST and TT indicating autosomes and the X-chromosome in females. A representative locus from each of the LGs was used, including y from the LG1 (the X-chromosome) and burs from LG3 (Muller Element C/E). Individuals are separated by backcross and by sex. The shading of the bars indicates an increasing number of D. tenebrosa alleles.
