Figure 2. The morphology of spe-36 mutant sperm is indistinguishable from that of wild-type sperm.

(A) him-5 spermatids (B) spe-36(as6); him-5 spermatids (C) Pronase activated him-5 spermatozoa (D) Pronase activated spe-36(as6); him-5 spermatozoa (E-F) Transmission electron micrographs of spe-36(it114) unc-22 spermatozoa. The ultrastructural details of spe-36 sperm are indistinguishable from those of wild type, including the sperm chromatin mass (N), the pseudopod (P), and the fused membranous organelles (arrowheads).
