Figure 8. Mosaic loss from the intestine of pod-2, but not fasn-1, leads to an ARD-like gonad arm.

(A) E(–) genetic mosaic pod-2(0); Ex[pod-2(+); sur-5::gfp] gonad arms (from same animal). Gonad arm on right partially outlined. (B) Two focal planes of a presumptive P₁(–) pod-2(0); Ex[pod-2(+); sur-5::gfp] mosaic with constipated intestine. Upper plane (left) with partially outlined intestine; lower plane (right) shows underlying distal gonad arm. int, intestine; p, pachytene region; v, vulva. (C) E(–) genetic mosaic fasn-1(0); Ex[fasn-1(+); sur-5::gfp] gonad arm. –1, most proximal oocyte. Bars, 20 μm.
