a
These animals were identified as uncoordinated progeny of unc-4 ptc-1/mnC1 hermaphrodites, using unc-4 to mark ptc-1 in cis.
b
Mean is calculated only for those animals displaying fertility.
c
Cross-progeny produced by mating L4-staged XX unc-4 ptc-1 hermaphrodites to XO wild-type males. Cross-progeny can be distinguished from self-progeny because they are non-Unc in phenotype.
