OX5382G male and female survival to adulthood when reared on larval diet that either contained doxycycline or was doxycycline-free (on-dox and off-dox, respectively). Percentages of OX5382G-hemizygous first-instar larvae reaching adulthood are shown for transgenic males and females reared on- and off-dox. Larvae used in these assays were the progeny of crosses between OX5382-hemizygous and wild-type adults; as such, following Mendelian inheritance and assuming equal survival rates across phenotypes, a 1:1:1:1 ratio of OX5382-hemizygous male, OX5382-hemizygous female, wild-type male, and wild-type female larvae is expected, and so full survival of one of these categories would be approximately 25% of all survivors in that cohort, as indicated by a dashed line on the charts. Data is only shown for the transgenic progeny of these crosses
