Compared to fem-1(-) worms, gon-2(-) worms will most likely have:

00:41

And here are the potential answers:

00:46

This question is asking us to compare fem 1 worms and gon 2 worms.

00:52

Our answer choices give us information about age-dependent protein aggregation, and Figure

00:57

1 shows us the fold change in protein aggregation between fem 1 and gon 2 worms.

01:03

So we know we should be looking at Figure 1 for our answer.

01:09

We notice that the fem -1 graph on the left has more data points associated with high

01:14

fold change than the gon -2 graph. This shows that on average, the amount of protein aggregation,

01:20

or fold change, is higher in fem -1 worms than it is in gon -2 worms.

01:30

So to answer the given question, gon-2 worms have LESS age-dependent protein aggregation.

01:35

Choice C is our answer!
