|
male bursa development variant
|
Any variation in the process whose specific outcome is the progression of the male bursa over time, from its formation to the mature structure, compared to control. The male bursa consists of the lateral fan and rays (WormAtlas). |

|
hook development variant
|
Any variation in the development of the structure that lies on the ventral surface just anterior and central to the base of the spicule openings (small lump on the gubernaculum of the male tail) and contains a sensory structure called the hook sensillum, compared to control. In C. elegans the hook is necessary for proper male mating. |

|
over retracted male tail
|
Adult males exhibit a truncated tail, often without a fan or have well-developed fans but squarish, truncated back ends compared to control. In C. elegans this is due to precocious male tail tip retraction beginning in the early L3 stage (normally retraction begins in the L4 stage). Condition can be lethal if the function of the anus is affected. |

WBPhenotype:0001367
|
proctodeum development variant
|
Any variation in the process whose specific outcome is the progression of the male proctodeum over time, from its formation to the mature structure, compared to control. The union of the vas deferens and the intestine give rise to the proctodeum which contains copulatory spicules. |
