Blebs on tail of adult hermaphrodite. Tail irregular, tail cuticle sometimes separated, tail spike sometimes truncated. Some animals have enlarged excretory canals.

Hermaphrodites have abnormal truncated or blebbed tails, pale appearance, some excretory cell abnormalities, especially in adults. Males have variably abnormal tails, some are able to mate.

Vab XX hermaphrodites and XO males, viable at all temperatures. Adult hermaphrodite tail spike is invariably shortened and/or vacuolated, often also abnormal in larvae. Possible excretory cell abnormalities. Rays of adult male tail variably abnormal, other structures normal; males can mate.

Most L1 larvae are deformed with irregular shapes. Older larvae and adults exhibit variably bent-head. Resembles spon-1(e2623) II. Homozygous viable, but inviable as hemizygotes (e1210/maDf2). Reference: Hodgkin (unpublished).

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Uncs and dead eggs and larvae with severe body morphology defects that do not develop beyond the L2 stage. A few very rare mc44 larvae reach adulthood but they become sterile. mc 44 is a deletion affecting the downstream transcription unit of vab-10 named vab-10b. Fails to complement the vab-10 null reference allele vab-10(h1356), but complements the vab-10a alleles vab-10a(e698) and vab-10a(ju281).

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Uncs, and severely Lumpy arrested L1s (ok817). m1 can easily get lost through recombination.

Variably abnormal. Severe developmental defects. Partially lethal (approx. 2/3 fail to survive). Adult hermaphrodites have variably enlarged and shortened tails and the body cuticle is twisted. Severe egg-laying defect; some animals have a protruding vulva. Tab. Unc. Lack AVM, PVM, and PLM. ALM often fail to migrate or migrate a shorter distance.

ZK1151.1b. Homozygous lethal deletion chromosome balanced by bli-4- and GFP-marked translocation. Heterozygotes are WT with pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate WT GFP, arrested hT2 aneuploids, and non-GFP ok817 homozygotes (variable arrest stage; larvae often Dpy with lumpy tail and lumpy or notched head; adults often explode or disintegrate). Homozygous hT2[bli-4 let-? qIs48] inviable. Note: qIs48 has been observed to recombine off hT2, typically leaving behind a functional homozygous viable hT2 with Bli-4 phenotype. Pick WT GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain.
