   Inherited sterility in insects is induced by substerilizing doses of ionizing radiation. When partially sterile males mate with wild females, the radiation-induced deleterious effects are inherited by the F1 generation. [1] As a result, egg hatch is reduced and the resulting offspring are both highly sterile and predominately male.
