Pvl, protruding vulva; Ste, Sterile (no embryos present); Mel, maternal-effect lethal (lays dead embryos); NA, not applicable, by definition, since sterile mutants lay no embryos and thus cannot be Maternal-effect lethal.
↵a m, endogenous maternal wild-type gene product.
↵b All animals were scored 1 day past the L4 stage by DIC.
