Analysis of the temperature sensitivity of poly2/poly2 and poly1/poly2 mutant flies
| Rearing temperature | poly2/poly2 | poly2/TM3 | Percentage of viability | % SE | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18°C | 347 | 4751 | 14.6% | 0.61% | 5098 |
| 25°C | 9 | 1085 | 1.66% | 1.31% | 1094 |
| 29°C | 0 | 636 | 0% | 1.98% | 636 |
| Rearing temperature | poly1/poly2 | poly1 or poly2/TM3 | Percentage of viability | % SE | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18°C | 205 | 1474 | 27.8% | 1.06% | 1679 |
| 25°C | 80 | 469 | 34.1% | 1.85% | 549 |
| 29°C | 0 | 204 | 0% | 3.03% | 204 |
Viability of poly homozygous escapers is low at 18°C, decreases further with increasing temperature, and is zero at 29°C. poly transheterozygous escapers are more viable than their homozygous counterparts at the intermediate temperature (possibly as a result of intragenic complementation) but still do not survive at 29°C. % SE is related to the standard deviation of the sample and is the sampling error, i.e., the probability that data obtained from the sample size is inaccurate.
