WBPhenotype:0000977
|
somatic gonad morphology variant
|
Animals exhibit variations in the form, structure or composition of the components of the gonad that are separate from the germline proper compared to control animals. |
WBPhenotype:0000290
|
sperm absent
|
Animals lack fully specialized male gametes that are competent for fertilization. |
WBPhenotype:0000594
|
cell migration variant
|
Any variation in the orderly movement of a cell from one site to another. |
WBPhenotype:0000651
|
constipated
|
Animals exhibit delayed or infrequent passage and/or expulsion of fecal matter. |
WBPhenotype:0000690
|
gonad migration variant
|
Variations in the gross movement of the whole structure of the gonad along the body wall, behind the gonadal leader cell and away from the developing vulva compared to control (Wormatlas). |
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. |
WBPhenotype:0000666
|
ovulation variant
|
Any variation that disrupts the release of a mature oocyte into the spermatheca (for subsequent fertilization), compared to control. |
WBPhenotype:0000189
|
hypodermis disorganized
|
Hypodermal cells fail to be organized in the same manner as observed in control animals. In C. elegans, hypodermal cells typically organize into distinct dorsal, lateral and ventral rows and cover the entire body. |
WBPhenotype:0000668
|
endomitotic oocytes
|
Any variation that results in the presence of mature oocytes with distended polyploid nuclei. In C. elegans, such oocytes mature and exit diakinesis, but are often not properly ovulated or fertilized. |
WBPhenotype:0000710
|
intestinal morphology variant
|
Animals exhibit variations in the form, structure or composition of the chain of cuboidal cells which form a central lumen lined by microvilli that allow the passage of food, compared to control. Food passes from the posterior pharynx to the intestine where it is digested and then on to the rectum which processes the waste products for excretion (Wormatlas). |
WBPhenotype:0001659
|
spermatheca morphology variant
|
Any variation in the form, structure or composition of the somatic gonad structure that connects the distal gonad arm to the uterus compared to control (Wormatlas). |
