Identifier	Name	Description
WBPhenotype:0000050	embryonic lethal	Animals die during embryonic development. In C. elegans, often assayed as refractile eggs that fail to hatch; when applied to large-scale RNAi screens in C. elegans, more than 10% of embryos die.
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.
