emb-4 affects lin-12 activity in VPC specification
| Average no. of pseudovulvae (n)

||
|---|---|---|
| Genotype | non-Egl animals | Egl animals |
| lin-12(n950) | 4.7 ± 0.1 (50) | |
| lin-12(n950); emb-4(sel)a | 4.5 ± 0.2 (28) | |
| lin-12(n950); emb-4(qm31)a | 4.3 ± 0.1 (65) | |
| lin-12(n950)/lin-12(0)b | 2.6 ± 0.1 (44) | 4.2 ± 0.1 (99) |
| lin-12(n950)/lin-12(0); emb-4(sel)b | 0 ± 0.0 (77) | NAc |
| lin-12(n950)/lin-12(0); emb-4(qm31)b | 0.7 ± 0.2 (37) | 2.2 ± 0.2 (26) |
The strains compared were grown and scored in parallel.
a
Only 0 AC-Egl animals were scored to account only for the role of emb-4 during the VPC specification, and not as a secondary consequence of the AC/VU decision (the presence of an AC decreases the number of pseudovulvae).
b
Actual genotype on chromosome III was lin-12(n950)/unc-36(e251) lin-12(n941).
c
All lin-12(n950)/lin-12(0); emb-4(sel) animals were able to lay eggs.
