Offensive and defensive sperm competitive ability of Acp62F null males. Mean P2′ represents the percentage of offspring sired by the second male and the mean P1′ represents the average number of offspring sired by the first male. ANOVA statistical analysis was performed to determine significance values. Acp62F+/Acp62F+ flies have a w1118 genetic background, which is the same genetic background in which Acp62F1 targeting P-element transformations were performed.
