Table 1. Hatch rates for embryos from mei-41 mutants.
Maternal genotype | Hatched (%) | Total (n) |
---|---|---|
Wild type | 73.1a | 2035 |
mei-4129D | 0 | 527 |
P{UASp::mei-41} mei-4129D | 0 | 837 |
P{UASp::mei-41} mei-4129D; P{matα4::GAL4-VP16}/+ | 52.8b | 1187 |
This number is lower than expected for wild type. The cause of this is unknown.
The apparent lack of complete rescue may be the result of a high frequency of aneuploidy resulting from the absence of mei-41 during meiotic recombination.
