mec-7 dominantly suppresses
mec-15 touch insensitivity.
mec-15;
mec-7/+ animals are touch sensitive.
mec-15;
mec-7 double homozygous mutants appeared identical to
mec-7 animals; the
mec-15 cell-body phenotype was suppressed, indicating that
mec-7 is epistatic to
mec-15. When only one copy of wild-type
mec-7 was present, all
mec-15 phenotypes werefully suppressed.
