Table 2.

Results of the activity analysis for the hemizygous transgenic and control flies used in this study under 25 °C and 18 °C. Chi-square test was performed to compare the rhythmicity of the flies under two temperature conditions. (N = total number of flies, Narr = no. of arrhythmic flies, Nr = no. of rhythmic flies, %r = percentage of rhythmic flies, D. melanogaster Canton-S, I26 × tim19 and I26 × tim21 show more rhythmicity on 25 °C while D. pseudoobscura and I26 lines showed preference for 18 °C.
