Alive embryos were scored as alive based on a beating heart and blood flowing through their umbilical cord. 5/6 embryos have five mutant alleles and one WT allele among the six alleles for the three Rb family genes. The overall under-representation of TKO embryos after E10.5 is statistically significant in a χ2 test (P = 0.01). All mice analyzed were in a mixed 129Sv/J:C57BL/6 genetic background.
