(14) In hermaphrodites, mnDp72 and mnDp73 promoted meiotic X nondisjunction and recombined with an X chromosome in the unc-1-dpy-3 interval at frequencies comparable to that found for X-X recombination; mnDp72(X;IV) also promoted trisomy for chromosome IV.
(15) Furthermore, the germ-line specificity of the fem-3(gf) mutant phenotype and the late temperature-sensitive period suggest that, in the wild-type XX hermaphrodite, fem-3 is negatively regulated so that the hermaphrodite stops making sperm and starts making oocytes.
(16) An unusual case of hermaphroditism in a 4 to 5-year-old roe is described.
(17) and Grassi Milano observed that when the female gonads were cultured without steroid or gonadotrophic hormones at the start of differentiation an hermaphrodite left ovary and a male right one were formed.
(18) Loss-of-function mutations in the spe-11 gene in Caenorhabditis elegans result in a paternal-effect embryonic-lethal phenotype: fertilization of wild-type oocytes by sperm from homozygous spe-11 mutant males leads to abnormal zygotic development, whereas oocytes from homozygous spe-11 hermaphrodites when fertilized by wild-type sperm develop normally.
(19) In wild-type Caenorhabditis elegans there are two sexes, self-fertilizing hermaphrodites (XX) and males (XO).
(20) Six out of 22 can transform XO animals into fertile females or hermaphrodites, whereas the remainder cause partial feminization.

(v. t.) To supply with an organ or organs; to fit with organs; to organize.
