Fig. 2

a, b Dorsal view of normal and affected anterior orbital (ao) showing a meandering shape mostly observed on the offspring from MTX treated males. c Quantification of the percentage of embryos presenting affected or normal anterior orbital cartilages. Numbers in the graph represent the analyzed embryos. d Lateral view of larvae presenting normal (trowel shape), mild (bended shape), and strong (hook shape) deformities of the basihyal cartilage. e Quantification of the percentage of embryos presenting normal (non-affected), mild, or strong basihyal cartilage abnormalities observed on the offspring from MTX-treated males. Numbers in the graph represent the analyzed embryos. Statistical analyses were performed using a contingency table followed by two-sided Fisher’s exact test and each treatment were compared with the control independently. *P = 0.0329, **P = 0.0059, ***P = 0.0006.
