cilia absent

Neurons lack the finger-like dendritic projections, which are observed extending from similar cells in control animals.

rays missing

Any of the finger-like sensory sensilla that project from the tail and embed in the male fan are absent.

extra rays

Animals exhibit an extra number of the finger-like sensory sensilla that project from the tail and embed in the male fan.

rays fused

Any of the finger-like sensory sensilla that project from the tail and embed in the male fan are joined to one another.

rays displaced

Any of the finger-like sensory sensilla that project from the tail and embed in the male fan are shifted from their customary place.

ray ectopic

Animals have finger-like sensory sensilla (rays) that are present in places they are normally not found, when compared to the location in control animals.

ray tips swollen

The extreme ends of any of the finger-like sensory sensilla that project from the tail and embed in the male fan appear bloated or distended.

meiosis metaphase to anaphase transition block

Oocyte chromosomes arrest in metaphase of meiosis I without transitioning to anaphase or producing polar bodies.

male tail sensory ray differentiation variant

Variations in the processes leading to the specialization of the finger-like sensory sensilla that project from the tail and embed in the male fan compared to control.

diakinesis progression during oogenesis variant

Developing oocytes show defects in their entry, progression through or exit from the diakinesis stage compared to control animals. Diakinesis is a cell cycle process comprising the steps by which a cell progresses through the final stage of prophase I in meiosis; the transition to meiotic metaphase I.
