Although not discussed in this chapter, C. elegans is a model system whose life cycle makes it an excellent choice for the genetic dissection of many biological processes. C. elegans has two natural sexes: hermaphrodite and male. The hermaphrodite is essentially a female that can generate sperm as well as oocytes, so reproduction can occur by hermaphrodite self-fertilization or hermaphrodite-male mating. In the context of studying mutations in the nervous system, what is the advantage of hermaphrodite self-fertilization with respect to the identification of recessive mutations and the propagation of mutant strains?
