Chapter 18, Problem 10P

Ablation of the anchor cell in wild $-$ type C. elegans results in a vulva $-$ less phenotype.

a. What phenotype is to be expected if the anchor cell is ablated in a $\text{let-23}$ loss $\text{-}$ of $\text{-}$ function mutant?

b. What about if the anchor cell is ablated in a $\text{let-23}$ gain $\text{-}$ of $\text{-}$ function mutant?
