Fig. 6. Phenotypic series of bab mutant adult ovaries. Morphology of (A) a wild-type ovary, and (B-F) bab mutant ovaries of increasing phenotypic strength, showing changes in size and shape of the female reproductive organ because of a decreasing number of ovarioles and developing follicles. Genotypes: (B) babE5/babE6, (C) babE5/babPR72, (D) babE1/babE4, (E) babPR72/babE1 and (F) babPR72/babPR72. (A,B) A single ovary, (C-F) a pair of ovaries of 2- to 3-day-old females.
