(A) Ovipositional rates of homozygous v and Met27 females. Each point represents the mean (± SEM bars) daily oviposition of single females (n = 25) of various genotypes at the indicated times after eclosion. Open circles, v Met27; open triangles, v Met27/Df(1)N71; solid triangles, w v Met27; p, [w+EN71]/+; solid circles, v. (B) Total vitellogenic oocytes per female as a function of time after eclosion. Each point represents the mean number of total stage 8–14 oocytes per female contained in staged females (n = 40) at the indicated times. Solid circles, v; open circles, v Met27.
