Fig. 4

a Percentage of progeny from YLEdsx-A males (maroon) and YLEdsx-B males (red) that inherited the dsxFΔ11 allele when mated with wild-type individuals. Each dot corresponds to the progeny of a different mating couple. Dashed line indicates the expected Mendelian inheritance. Numbers on the right indicate the mean and the s.e.m., and the size of each sample (n). b YLEdsx males from both strains (A and B) were mated with wild-type females. A Kruskal-Wallis test (and a two-sided Dunn’s multiple comparisons test with the wild-type males group as a control) revealed no significant differences in the number of larvae produced by females mated with YLEdsx males and those mated with wild-type males (P = 0.2322 for the Kruskal-Wallis test, P = 0.8407 and P = 0.1753 for Dunn’s test for comparison between the wild-type males group and strains A and B respectively). Each dot represents the progeny of each female. Numbers on the right-hand side show the mean and the s.e.m., and the size of each sample (n). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
