1. Using the data available describe the phenotype that you observe when each of these three genes is knocked down using RNAi. Remember to compare the worms on control RNAi plates with worms on each of the RNAi knockdown plates. In each case state how do these phenotypes relate to the function of the gene. （gene name for F27C1.8 is dpy-5，for T19E7.2 is skn-1） 2.
