- precipice response variant
Animals do not respond to the edge or gap in the medium surface they were supported on in the same manner as controls. In Mitchell et al., the precipice response was defined to be that within 2 seconds of the nose moving off the edge of the agar chunk, the worm begins a reversal that completes at least one full sine wave.
- drug response variant
Any variation in the characteristic response(s) to drug(s) as defined by control animals.
- cell cycle arrest
Cells of the animals cease during one of its replicative phases (G1, S, G2, M).
- epidermis muscle detached
The cell(s) whose principal function is to provide contractile forces, is separated from the adjacent epidermis.
- axon length abnormal
The length of one or more axons is abnormal compared to the length of the corresponding axon(s) in control animals.
- axon length reduced
The length of one or more axons is reduced compared to the length of the corresponding axon(s) in control animals.
- progressive muscle detachment
The connection between cell(s) whose principal function is to provide contractile forces and its neighboring cells or tissues diminishes over time.
- muscle detached
Animals fail to establish or maintain the connection between cell(s) whose principal function is to provide contractile forces and its neighboring cells or tissues.
