Fig. 4. Expression of sur-5::gfp in nuclei. (A) Fluorescent image of a
non-mosaic worm. Arrowheads indicate three intestinal nuclei that have
inherited an extrachromosomal array that expresses sur-5::gfp. (B)
The corresponding Nomarski image. (C,D) Lack of fluorescence of three
intestinal nuclei is indicated with arrowheads in a mosaic worm that lost the
array in the embryonic cell E, the progenitor of the gut. (E,F) Patchy
mosaicism in the gut. Two positive clones can be seen within an otherwise dark
intestine, indicating consecutive losses of the array within the gut cell
lineage. Consecutive losses occur more frequently for extrachromosomal arrays
than for free duplications. Scale bars: in A, 50 µm for A-D; in F, 150
µm for E,F.
