The female reproductive tract is used only for laying fertilized eggs.
"I think I'm capable of laying down four good runs," said the GB pilot.
In most species, workers retain functional ovaries and are capable of laying viable, male-destined eggs.
Adult moths also demonstrate high mobility (capable of travelling over 1,000 km) and fecundity (individual females are capable of laying up to 3,000 eggs) [ 3].
Only experiments carried out under the "ordinary" management of the state are capable of laying bare the problems associated with this process.
Most wild-caught females have already mated and are capable of laying eggs.
During child-bearing years, 300 to 400 follicles mature and emit eggs capable of being fertilized.
Follicles are fluid-filled capsules in which oocytes (pronounced OH-oh-sites) ripen into fully formed eggs, capable of being fertilized.
Conversely, the mutant females might produce fewer (mature) oocytes that are capable of being fertilized.
In earlier studies [13], [16], it was suggested that oocytes that survive DXR treatment might be less capable of being fertilized successfully.
