Fig. 8. Defects in excretory cell processes in dgn-1 mutants.
(A) H-shaped excretory cell of a wild-type animal. (B)
Homozygous cg121 null mutants frequently have short (arrow) or
missing (arrowhead) excretory cell arms. (C) Null mutants also show arm
duplications (arrowheads) but at a lower frequency (ra/la, right/left
anterior; lp, left posterior arms). (D) Percentage of wild type,
cg121 homozygotes or cg121/+ heterozygotes with the
indicated defect in at least one excretory cell arm. Multiple defects can be
present in a single animal, so values do not add to 100%.
