Figures represent numbers of progeny individuals with a given phenotype. Mosquitoes were scored at the pupal stage for sex, EGFP expression and eye color. The RED strain individuals are homozygous for a recessive red eye color mutation. Black denotes a wild-type eye phenotype.
Individuals carrying a recombinant chromosome 1 with the breakpoint between the sex locus and the transgene.
Individuals carrying a recombinant chromosome 1 with the breakpoint between the sex locus and the re locus.
