male turning defective
|
The inability of a male to properly turn during mating behavior. In C. elegans, males typically turn via a sharp ventral arch of the tail, as he approaches either the hermaphrodite head or tail. |

|
male response to contact defective
|
The inability of a male to respond properly to a potential mate after contact. In C.elegans, proper response includes apposing the ventral side of his tail to the hermaphrodite's body and swimming backward. |

WBPhenotype:0000649
|
vulva location variant
|
Any variation in the male's ability to locate his partner's vulva when backing along the ventral side of the partner during mating compared to control. In C. elegans the male stops at the vulva, coordinates his movements to the hermaphrodite's, and positions his tail precisely over the vulva so that he may insert his spicules and ejaculate. |
