Figure 5 - Turning ability of unoperated control males, males with the
indicated ablations, and lin-39 males. CP and pre-CP (precursor to CP:
Pn.aap) ablations include males in which 5 or 6 cells were ablated; <5
columns indicate males in which 1 - 4 cells were ablated. Legend at right
indicates percentage of turns that were missed (black), sloppy (shaded), or
good (white). Turning data are represented as the average percentage of turns.
The percentage of each type of turn is determined for each worm and averaged by
the number of worms. This normalization corrects for the fact that the number
of turns scored per worm ranged from 3 to 21 (average 7.5 turns per worm).
Analysis by ANOVA of the percentages of good turns within each group revealed
statistically significant differences among the groups (p = 0.0001). Columns
marked with asterisks(*) are significantly different (p < 0.05)
from control and other unmarked columns in pairwise comparisons
(Scheffè's F-test). Columns with asterisks were not significantly
different from one another; likewise, unmarked columns were not significantly
different from one another.
