**The χ2 test reveals in all three groups that the proportion of mutant and normal embryos is statistically different for single heterozygous and double heterozygous embryos.
*The χ2 statistic is not significant at the 0.05 level, but at the 0.1 level.
Mutant hearts in these double heterozygotes denote gap phenotype.
