Precocious anaphase is seen in homozygous mei-217r1 or mei-217g10 mature oocytes. In mei-217r1 mei-41D18 or mei-217g10 mei-41D18 double mutants a metaphase arrest is almost always seen in mature oocytes (as occurs in wild type).
No precocious anaphases are seen in mutant oocyte nuclei. In the progeny of homozygous mei-41D18 mothers, there is a high frequency of nullo-X gametes compared to diplo-X gametes.
Eggs are laid.
Hemizygous male larvae are sensitive to HN2 and MMS.
Homozygous females lay eggs that fail to hatch.
mei-41D18 is a suppressor of abnormal meiotic cell cycle | recessive phenotype of mei-217g10
mei-41D18 is a suppressor of abnormal meiotic cell cycle | recessive phenotype of mei-217r1
mei-41D18 has phenotype, suppressible by mei-P22P22
mei-41D18 is a suppressor of meiosis I | female phenotype of mei-217g10
About a quarter of nuclei in mei-9a/mei-9a; mei-41D18/+ oocytes exhibit premature anaphase (or later) meioses. In mei-41D18; mei-2181 oocytes no premature anaphases are seen. In mei-41D18; mei-P22P22 oocyte nuclei premature anaphases are seen. In mei-41D18; c(3)G68 oocyte nuclei premature anaphases are seen. The addition of homozygous mei-P22P22 partially suppresses the high frequency of nullo-X gametes compared to diplo-X gametes seen in the progeny of homozygous mei-41D18 mothers but the addition of homozygous mei-2181 or mei-9a does not.
