Figure 5. Altered pigmentation but normal sex determination in F1 fish carrying different induced KITLGX and KITLGY alleles.

Figure 5.

A. Wild-type male and testes. B. Body and testes from male carrying frameshift KITLGY allele 1 (see table 3). Sperm from males carrying frameshift mutations in KITLGY (n=5) successfully fertilized eggs. C. Body and testes from male fish with frameshift KITLGX allele 1. Sperm from F1 males with frameshift in KITLGX (n=4) also successfully fertilized eggs. D. Body and testes from male carrying both frameshift KITLGX allele 2 and KITLGY allele 1. Sperm from male with frameshift mutations in both alleles successfully fertilized eggs (n=1). E. Wild-type female and ovaries. F. Body and ovaries from female carrying frameshift KITLGX allele 1. Eggs were produced and successfully fertilized (n=3). G. Body and ovaries from female fish carrying both frameshift KITLGX alleles 1 and 8. Eggs were produced and successfully fertilized (n=3). Scale 5mm (left column) and 1mm (right column).
