摘要
Fifty six nerve cells are added to the ventral cord and associated ganglia of C. elegans at about the time of the 1st larval molt. These cells are produced by the uniform division of 13 neuroblasts followed by a defined pattern of cell deaths. Comparison with previous data suggest that there is a relationship between the ancestry of a cell and its function. The significance of programmed cell death is discussed.
