TABLE 1.

Suppression of the male bias to form dauers by mutations in daf-2

Genotype	Temp	% males forming dauers (±SE)	% herms forming dauers (±SE)	M:H dauer ratio	N	P
Wild type, pheromone	25°	35.8 ± 8.9	29.9 ± 5.0	1.20	369	>0.1
daf-2(e1370)	22.5°	31.9 ± 5.2	40.0 ± 5.4	0.80	766	>0.1

Progeny of mated hermaphrodites were raised at a temperature that gave a mix of dauers and nondauers. The sex of recovered dauers was scored and the overall ratio of male:hermaphrodite (M:H) dauer formation was determined. Herms, hermaphrodites.
