Table 1.

Progeny genotypes agree with Mendelian expectations

Maternal genotype: COX-1(+/−)/COX-2(+/−) COX-1(−/−)/COX-2(+/−)
Paternal genotype: COX-1(−/−)/COX-2(+/−)
COX-1(−/−)/COX-2(+/−)
Offspring genotype Expected ratio Obtained ratio* Expected ratio Obtained ratio
COX-1(+/−)/COX-2(+/+) 0.125 0.110 NA NA
COX-1(+/−)/COX-2(+/−) 0.250 0.253 NA NA
COX-1(+/−)/COX-2(−/−) 0.125 0.115 NA NA
COX-1(−/−)/COX-2(+/+) 0.125 0.133 0.250 0.241
COX-1(−/−)/COX-2(+/−) 0.250 0.293 0.500 0.474
COX-1(−/−)/COX-2(−/−) 0.125 0.110 0.250 0.285

Litters were delivered after a normal gestation length of 19.5 days. Expected ratios are the Mendelian expectations. All obtained ratios are not significantly different from expected ratios (χ2 statistic, P < 0.01).
