WBPhenotype:0000505
|
male ray morphology variant
|
Animals exhibit variations in the structure or organization of any of the finger-like sensory sensilla that project from the tail and embed in the male fan compared to control animals. In C. elegans, nine bilateral rays project from the tail in a radial pattern with a smooth and slightly tapered appearance. Although one neuronal member of each ray sensillum is exposed to the outside, male rays rarely take up dye. |

|
male tail sensory ray development variant
|
Any variation in the progression of the finger-like sensory sensilla that project from the tail and embed in the male fan from its formation to the mature structure when compared to control animals. |
|
WBPhenotype:0000165
|
cell fusion variant
|
Variations in the ability of two or more individual cells to form a syncytium (a mass of cytoplasm containing several nuclei enclosed within a single plasma membrane) via the fusion of the plasma membranes. Cell fusion is dependent on the merging of lipid bilayer membranes as well as cytoplasmic mixing. |
