Fig. 4: Maladaptation and adaptation in isogenic lines.
From: C. elegans sperm and oocytes differentially transmit diet-induced adaptations to their progeny
a Quartile box plots (whisker 1.5*IQR) of brood size of two isogenic strains previously adapted to OP and then transferred to OP or PB. n = 9 for isogenic line 1 OP→OP brood measurements and n = 10 per generation for all others. b The percentage of 50 embryos from each G1 (n = 10) and G5 (n = 10) hermaphrodites from each isogenic strain grown on each food that hatched. c The percent of self-progeny males from the sum of all progeny produced by five G0 or G5 isogenic strain 1 (left) or 2 (right) hermaphrodites grown on the indicated food. For each food at each indicated generation, five complete broods were counted (inset numbers). Source data and numerical P values are provided as a Source Data file.
