- L2 lethal
L2 lethal: Animals die at the L2 stage of the life cycle.
- L2 arrest
The developmental program of the animals does not continue past the second larval stage (L2).
- early larval arrest
Larvae arrest during early larval development. In C. elegans, this occurs during the L1 or L2 stages of larval development.
- early larval lethal
Animals die during early larval development. In C.elegans, this occurs during the L1- L2 larval stages of the life cycle.
- L1 L2 molt defect
Animals exhibit defects in the process of shedding, part or all of its cuticle, during cuticle replacement that punctuates L1 to L2 transition.
- L2 L3 molt defect
Animals exhibit defects in the process of shedding, part or all of its cuticle, during cuticle replacement that punctuates L2 to L3 transition.
- mid larval lethal
Animals die in between the early and late larval stages. In C. elegans, this occurs during the L2- L3 larval stages of the life cycle.
- mid larval arrest
Animals arrest during the stage between early and late larval development. In C. elegans, mid larval arrest occurs during the L2 to L3 stages of development.
- clear larva
Larva appear unusually transparent when compared to control.
- pale larva
Larva show deficiencies in chroma resulting in increased translucency.
