Controls were fed biotin-normal diets for 14 generations. F12+2 flies were fed biotin-deficient diet for 12 generations and then switched to biotin-normal diets for two generations.
Data are means ± SD.
Values not sharing the same superscript are significantly different from each other for the same sex in the same % survival category; P < 0.01 (n = 4 vials containing 25 flies each). Males were not compared to females.
