- XX lethal
XX-bearing individuals die preferentially over other animals in the population. In C.elegans, XX animals die preferentially over X0 animals.
- transformer
XX animals are transformed into males or pseudomales .
- X0 lethal
XO-bearing individuals die preferentially over other animals in the population. In C.elegans, X0 animals die preferentially over XX animals.
- masculinized
Animals that are not ordinarily male, exhibit male-specific attributes. In C. elegans, XX animals exhibit male-specific attributes.
- dosage compensation variant
Variations in the process of normalizing the expression level of X-linked genes between XX and XO animals compared to control.
- masculinization of germline
The germ line is sexually transformed from hermaphrodite to male. In C. elegans, XX mog animals are somatically hermaphrodite, but germ cells that normally would become oocytes are transformed into sperm.
- hermaphrodite sexual development variant
Genetically hermaphrodite animals exhibit deviations in the sexual program specific to hermaphrodites. In C. elegans, this refers to XX animals that develop as males or intersexuals instead of self-fertile hermaphrodites.
