(A) Distribution of mutant spot sizes observed on the wings from the experiments described in Fig. 9. The numbers of total spots shown are from larvae irradiated at 15 Gy (gray bars), 10 Gy (dark bars), 5 Gy (black bars), or 0 Gy (no irradiation; white bars). (B) Approximation curves of the spot size fitted by the polynomial approximation for the irradiation at 5 Gy (black line), 10 Gy (dark line), and 15 Gy (gray line). The mode of the spot size (solid arrows; 1.6 for 5 Gy, 2.3 for 10 Gy, and 3.3 for 15 Gy) and the average of the spot size (dotted arrows; 3.8 for 5 Gy, 4.4 for 10 Gy, and 5.1 for 15 Gy) were calculated from each polynomial approximation curve after the subtraction of the spot number without irradiation. (C) The relationship between the number of AO-stained clusters per wing and the mode of the spot size (solid lines) or average of the spot size (dotted lines). The X-ray doses were 5 Gy (black circles), 10 Gy (dark circles), and 15 Gy (gray circles)
