Fig 3. sim-bam-yfp does not fully rescue D. melanogaster bam mutant female sterility.

One transgenic female (or heterozygous female) and two tester males were allowed to mate and the trio was transferred to a new vial every five days. Fertility is shown as the average number of progeny per female +/- SEM for each vial. (A) mel-bam-yfp rescues D. melanogaster bam female sterility. N ranged between 22 and 24 females at start of experiment; due to female mortality N ranged between 17 and 18 at end of experiment. (B) sim-bam-yfp cannot fully rescue D. melanogaster bam female sterility. mel-bam-yfp; bam ⁻is shown in red and compared to sim-bam-yfp; bam ⁻in blue. N ranged between 38 and 40 females at start of experiment; due to female mortality N ranged between 26 and 33 at end of experiment. (t-test, * P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001).
