Table 7. sel-10(ar41) partially suppresses the germline feminization in XX animals caused by tra-2 (mx) mutations.
| Genotype | % Fertile animals (n) | Average no. of progeny | Range | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| sel-10(ar41) | 100 (58) | 277 | 243-328 | 6 |
| tra-2(e2019mx) | 10 (102) | 70 | 18-104 | 6 |
| tra-2(e2019mx); sel-10(ar41) | 22 (102) | 127 | 20-180 | 6 |
| tra-2(e2021mx) | 13 (101) | 60 | 7-108 | 7 |
| tra-2(e2021mx); sel-10(ar41) | 46 (101) | 129 | 34-210 | 6 |
The number of fertile animals and the number of progeny were analyzed as described in Materials and Methods. The complete genotypes of the animals analyzed were as listed except that all strains containing sel-10(ar41) were homozygous for lon-3(e2175). mx, Mixed character.
