F20G4.3. Heterozygotes are WT, and segregate WT, arrested hT2 aneuploid progeny, Bli hT2 homozygotes, and homozygous ok499 hermaphrodites (arrest stage/phenotype undetermined). The bli-4 mutation does not express until the adult, and is sometimes extremely subtle. Pick WT hermaphrodites and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain.
