|
multiple anchor cells
|
Animals contain more than one anchor cell. In C. elegans, presumptive ventral uterine cells undergo fate transformation and instead acquire the properties of an anchor cell (often due to defects in lateral signaling). |
WBPhenotype:0000216
|
cell fate specification variant
|
Any variation in the processes that govern acquisition of particular cell fates compared to control animals. |
WBPhenotype:0001652
|
anchor cell invasion variant
|
Any variation in the process by which the gonad anchor cell makes contact with vulval cells in order to create a uterine-vulval connection. In C. elegans, this includes the loss of the basement membranes between these cells and the crossing of the basolateral portion of the anchor cell through this gap. |
WBPhenotype:0001272
|
vulval cell induction variant
|
Vulval precursor cells inappropriately adopt fates that are normally restricted to other vulval precursor cells compared to control. |
