Fig. 1 — Zinc content in different genotypes of Drosophila melanogaster. (A) Zinc content was measured by atomic absorption spectrometry. white and fbl¹, ry⁵⁰⁶/TM3, ry^RK, Sb, Ser (abbreviated fbl¹/TM3 throughout the text) were the same stocks as in [20], whereas metal content of fbl¹, ry⁵⁰⁶/TM6, Tb (abbreviated fbl¹/TM6, Tb throughout the text) flies was assessed for the first time here. Note that fbl¹ heterozygosity does not correlate with total body zinc accumulation. Analysis of Variance indicated significant differences between the genotypes with p < 0.001. (B) Zinc content measured in female and male progeny derived from indicated crosses. Note that male progeny derived from low zinc mothers is also low in zinc, suggesting that the maternal X-chromosome is responsible for the low zinc phenotype. Analysis of Variance indicated significant differences between samples with p < 0.001.
