Fig. 2. Temporal distributions of progeny production by Gld-/- and Gld+/- females following the first mating. The y-axis shows the average relative number of progeny produced in a two-day period [the average of (no. of progeny produced in a two-day period)/(total no. of progeny produced over 11 days)]. The difference between the two genotypes was tested by t-test at each time point (^*P<0.001; ^**P<0.0001). Filled bars, Gld mutant (N=24); open bars, wild-type control (N=23). The averages of the total progeny number are 410 (Gld-/-) and 291 (Gld+/-).
