Quantification of the lack of oocytes and fecundity test.

<p>A) Relative sizes of the pre-meiotic tips for wild-type and the <i>csn</i> mutants. The size of the mitotic zone is reduced in <i>csn</i> mutants. n = 10 for each strain p<0.0005 for wild-type vs. <i>csn-2</i>; p = 0.005 for wild-type vs. <i>csn-5</i> and p<0.05 for <i>csn-2</i> vs. <i>csn-5</i>; Mann Whitney Test B) Quantification of the number of gonads that contained oocytes in diakinesis for the <i>csn</i> mutants, *<i>p</i>_MW<0.0005 and **<i>p</i>_MW<0.005, Mann Whitney Test C) Top: the average number of oocytes in diakinesis for the <i>csn</i> mutants and the <i>csn</i> mutant, apoptosis checkpoint double mutants. Bottom: the average number of eggs laid for <i>csn</i> mutants and apoptosis checkpoint double mutants. <i>csn</i> mutants have a severe reduction in the number of oocytes and lay no eggs.
