P.208 2nd paragraph:"Sexual dimorphism in Caenorhabditis is brought about by differential cell death. At around 470 minutes of development male-specific neurons (CEMs) die in hermaphrodites, whilst in males hermaphrodite-specific neurons (HSNs) die. There are six presumptive neurons involved in this development and all survive in both animals long enough to undergo normal migration and development of many characteristics of their normal differentiated state before the two HSNs or the four CEMs die (primary source)." |
