Fig 3. The mtDNA copy number of Drosophila melanogaster harboring Alstonville (Alst) and Japan (Jap) mtDNA in the w¹¹¹⁸ genetic background.

Flies were aged 11 (upper chart) and 25 d (lower chart). The protein: carbohydrate (P:C) diets were 1:2, 1:4, 1:8 and 1:16. (A) Males. (B) Females. MtDNA copy number of females harboring the two mtDNA types did not differ, so they were pooled. Data for each mitotype is presented in S1 Fig. Bar represents mtDNA copy number, and error bars show the standard error of the mean.
