This organism contains a protein that is similar to interleukin-1 beta converting enzyme and is necessary for apoptosis.
In this organism, an olfactory receptor that detects diacetyl is encoded by the odr-10 gene. This organism navigates using movements dubbed "pirouettes" and "omega turns." Some mutants of this organism, such as pkd-2 and klp-6, have genetic defects affecting the location of their vulva. This organism contains a protein that is similar to interleukin-1 beta converting enzyme and is necessary for apoptosis. That protein is encoded for by the (*) ced-3 gene. This organism contains a microRNA that accumulates at its L2 stage called lin-4, whose overexpression during unfavorable environmental conditions can cause this organism's larvae to enter into the dauer stage. Other mutant phenotypes of this organism include uncoordinated and dumpy. One process discovered using this model organism involves gene silencing by double-stranded RNA that binds to the Dicer protein complex. It was the first animal to have its genome sequenced. For 10 points, name this nematode that Andrew Fire and Craig Mello used to discover RNA interference.
