Question

8 -5 -10 -10 -15 -15 Figure 2 Sensitivity of F1 males toward FO-conditioned odor. Association time with either the concentration of odor on the x axis or an empty chamber was recorded. An aversion index was computed by subtracting the amount of time spent in the open chamber from the time spent in the odor chamber. (a) When tested with acetophenone, F1-Ace mice detected acetophenone at a lower concentration (0.03%) than F1-Prop mice, with both groups eventually showing equal aversion at the 0.06% concentration P 0.005 with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons). (b) When tested with propanol, F1-Prop mice detected propanol at a lower concentration (0.003%) than F1-Ace mice, with both groups eventually showing equal aversion at the 0.006% concentration (P 0.0005 with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons) (F1-Ace-C57, n= 16; F1-Prop-C57, n = 16). Data are presented as mean ± s.e.m. (**P

Explanation / Answer

Here F1 refers to the offsprings

After reading the entire paper, you will be able to address this figure much easier.

The F1-Ace males are the offprings of acetophenone conitioned mothers. While F1-Prop are offsprings of propanol conditioned mothers.

In Fig.2a, F1-Ace males detected acetophenone even at 0.03%, while F1-prop males were unable to detect acetophenone at that concentration. While at a concentration of 0.06%, both F1-Ace and F1-Prop were able to detect acetophenone.

In Fig 2b, We observed that F1-Prop males detected Propanol even at 0.003%, while at 0.006% both the groups detected propanol.

Altogether, from this experiment, the authors were able to propose that F1-Ace males detected acetophenone at lower concentration in comparison to F1-Prop males, while F1-Prop males detected propanol at lower concentration (0.003%) in comparison to the F1-Ace males.
