Figure 7. Predicting behavior of C. elegans reproductive mutants.

Figure 7

The reproductive dynamics of tra-3 and cdc-48.1 mutants at 20°C (dots; ±1 standard deviation) are well described by the model (solid lines are median predictions; dashed lines are ±1 standard deviation) (A). At 25°C, tra-3 animals produce fewer progeny than predicted (B). Embryos are arranged in an orderly fashion in N2 animals at 20 (C) and 25°C (E) and in tra-3 mutants at 20°C (D), but not at 25°C (F). Consequently, tra-3 mutants retain more embryos in the uterus than N2 animals (G; average number per worm is shown; ±1 standard deviation). Bagging phenotype of tra-3 mutants is rescued by an egg-laying constitutive mutation egl-19(ad695) (H).
