Table 4. F statistics testing variances over mutant and Canton S B backgrounds.
Gene | Ratio | d.f. | F DT | F LDT | F PDT | critical F |
invected | σ2 Canton S /+i/σ2 m /+i | 3.3 | 2.48 | 0.89 | 0.91 | 9.28 |
mastermind | σ2 Canton S /+i/σ2 m /+i | 3.3 | 2.11 | 0.88 | 0.94 | 9.28 |
cricklet | σ2 Canton S /+i/σ2 m /+i | 3.3 | 1.17 | 0.87 | 0.92 | 9.28 |
CG14591 | σ2 Canton S /+i/σ2 m /+i | 3.3 | 0.54 | 0.99 | 0.94 | 9.28 |
All F values are below the critical F, meaning that variances over mutant and Canton S B backgrounds are similar for all candidate genes.
