N: number of animals (brood size) or number of replicates (10 animals/replicate); MR: Mitotic region. The brood sizes were defined as the numbers of viable larvae that developed to the L1 stage descended from a single hermaphrodite of its strain. In parenthesis, P-values were calculated with a Student's t-test to compare numbers with wild-type (*) or alg-1(gk214) (**) animals, and represented as ± SEM.
