TABLE 1.
Average number of eggs and progeny of females mated to Acp62F1b or cvs. Acp62F+ males over 9 days
| Females mated to:

|||
|---|---|---|---|
| Control males (n) | Knockout males (n) | P-value | |
| Egg laying (Acp62F1b) | 25.79 ± 2.91 (18) | 27.42 ± 3.64 (17) | 0.27 |
| Egg laying (Acp62F1c) | 28.32 ± 4.05 (17) | 25.80 ± 2.12 (19) | 0.35 |
| Fertility (Acp62F1b) | 24.68 ± 2.11 (18) | 25.58 ± 1.85 (17) | 0.41 |
| Fertility (Acp62F1c) | 26.73 ± 1.93 (17) | 24.14 ± 2.84 (19) | 0.21 |
Mean values ± SE are given for each test. Average daily number of eggs laid and progeny produced by a single-pair mating were determined for 9 days after the start of mating. P-values for unpaired t-tests were performed on egg laying and progeny counts between mates of males wild type or mutant for Acp62F. Knockout males were homozygous Acp62F1b or c and control males were Acp62F1b or c/TM3, Sb. Egg laying or fertility tests for the respective line are given in the parentheses adjacent to their respective assay.
