TABLE 1.
ocr-2(vs29) animals are like ocr-2(ak47) mutants in sensory behaviors but not in egg-laying behavior
| % response to:
|
|||
|---|---|---|---|
| Genotype | Nose touch | Fructose | % early stage eggs |
| Wild type | 90 ± 6.1 | 88 ± 6.0 | 4 ± 4.5 |
| ocr-2(ak47) | 22 ± 8.1 | 10 ± 6.1 | 3 ± 4.1 |
| ocr-2(vs29) | 24 ± 8.3 | 24 ± 8.3 | 85 ± 7.1 |
Both ocr-2 null mutants [ocr-2(ak47)] and ocr-2(vs29) animals were defective in mechanosensation (response to nose touch) and in osmosensation (response to fructose). However, in contrast to ocr-2 null mutants, ocr-2(vs29) animals additionally laid a high percentage of early stage eggs. Errors indicate 95% confidence interval.
