This organism possesses GLR cells that aid in the development of its head muscles, and daf-2mutants of this organism are unusually long-lived.
This organism possesses GLR cells that aid in the development of its head muscles, and daf-2mutants of this organism are unusually long-lived. This organism unusually possesses holocentricchromosomes, and this organism expresses the lin-4 micro RNA, which suppresses the expression ofLIN14 during development. Martin Chalfie's GFP experiments were originally done in thisorganism, as were Mello and Fire's experiments on (*) RNAi. Exactly 191 cells in this organismundergo apoptosis during its development, and this organism occurs in male and hermaphrodite sexes.Their use was popularized by Sydney Brenner, and they were the first organism to have their genomesequenced. For 10 points, name this model organism, a small nematode.
