Supplementary Figure 2

(a) Testis-like gonad from 3-days old female dsxF−/− individual. There was no layer division between the cells and there was no evidence of sperm. (b) Dissections performed on dsxF−/− genetic females revealed the presence of organs resembling accessory glands, a typical male internal reproductive organ. (c) somatic mosaicism of penetrance of dsxF−/− phenotype in dsxFCRISPRh/+ females due to paternal deposition of nuclease, that can result in partial formation of clasper sets.
