Adult animals exhibit variations in the accumulation or expression of biochromes or any other substances that alter its transparency/translucency compared to control animals.
Variations in the processes that regulate the change (increase) in size or mass of an integrated living unit (a cell, tissue, organ or organism) during the adult stage compared to control animals.
Any variation in the overall structure or appearance of the animal after it has completed progression through the larval stages compared to control animals.
Any variation in the progression of the formation of the rigid external coating (which is secreted by the hypodermis, seam and some interfacial epithelial cells) over time in adults compared to control animals (Wormatlas).
Premature lethality during the adult stage. When applied to large-scale RNAi screens in C. elegans, this phenotype is present in at least 10% of analyzed worms, or at least 30% in the case of rrf-3 perturbed background.
