Females homozygous for a UAS-su(s) transgene on the second chromosome were crossed with heterozygous males carrying a second chromosome insertion of the sev-GAL4 transgene and a second chromosome balancer marked with Cy. The vials were incubated at either 25 or 18°C. Control crosses between yw females from the injection stock, lacking a UAS-su(s) transgene, and sev-GAL4/Cy males were performed in parallel. The percentage of sev-GAL4/UAS-su(s) progeny was determined by calculating the percentage of progeny with straight wings. Viability was measured by determining the percentage of straight-winged progeny obtained from the experimental versus the control cross. Standard deviations are shown in parentheses. P values, calculated by Student's t test, indicate the probability that the number obtained from each experimental cross is the same as number from the control cross: ∗, P > 0.05 (not significantly different from the control); ∗∗, 0.05 > P < 0.01; ∗∗∗, 0.01 > P < 0.001; ∗∗∗∗, P < 0.001. NA, not applicable.
