a All animals were the progeny of mel-46(yt5) / + mothers. Animals that produced predominantly (at lower temperatures) or exclusively dying embryos were considered to be mel-46(yt5) homozygous. b Only animals that were fertile were included in this analysis. c two tailed paired t-test between the genotypes within the temperature.
