Uju.wMel crossing type. Experiments to characterize the crossing type of the Uju.wMel line at G₆ were performed using UjuT and Ascoli strains. Error bars represent the SEM of hatch rates between females; 15 adult males and 15 females were used for each mass cross. A second round of crossing experiments was performed two generations later (G₈) using Uju.wMel × Uju.wMel, Ascoli × Uju.wMel, Uju.wMel × Ascoli, and Uju.wMel × UjuT following to the same procedure as in the previous experiment. No statistically significant difference was found between G₆ and G₈ of the same cross using Wilcoxon tests. The number of eggs counted for each generation is shown under the x-axis.
