Figures are in degrees (± 1 SD) due to the arcsine transformation. Ninety degrees would indicate that all flies flew upwards. * between genotypes indicates a difference in flight ability at the 5% level in pairwise Student's t-tests; (*) indicates the same level of significance in difference between the D53/D53 row and that of +/+. The +/+ and hdp2/+ columns contain female data; the hdp2/hdp2 data are from homozygous females and hemizygous males.
