Cross progeny production after mating | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Hermaphrodite genotype | Male genotype | Male:Herm. Ratio | Mean no. progeny | SEM | N |
folt-1 | N2 | 4:1 | 0 | 0.0 | 14 |
fer-1 | folt-1; him-14 | 4:1 | 65.9 | 27.0 | 11 |
fer-1 | folt-1; him-14 | 1:10 | 15.9 | 10.9 | 15 |
fer-1 | him-14 | 1:10 | 49.8 | 12.6 | 15 |
The him-14(it144)II mutation was used to obtain males with the folt-1(ok1460) knockout mutation. Unmated hermaphrodites that are him-14 mutants produce male progeny [59].
