This organism's rare males contain more somatic cells than the more common hermaphrodites.
This organism can move using pirouettes and omega turns. Jennifer Doudna of CRISPR fame determined the crystal structure of a protein discovered in this organism, which contains a PAZ domain and acts as a "molecular ruler." Lin-4 and let-7 regulate developmental timing in this organism. In this organism, the daf-2 and daf-23 genes are critical in the transition to the dauer stage in the presence of environmental stress. In a process discovered in this organism, the enzyme (*) Dicer catalyzes a cleavage reaction which forms siRNAs. This organism's rare males contain more somatic cells than the more common hermaphrodites. Andrew Mello and Craig Fire discovered RNA interference in this organism, which was the first multicellular organism to have its whole genome sequenced. For 10 points, name this model organism, a nematode.
