a

To test whether there were differences in survival by genotype, we used Fisher's exact tests to compare the frequency distribution of S-locus genotypes among progeny that did not (N) and did (Y) survive to 4 weeks of age. The exact probability for the observed or a larger difference is given.

b

To test for overall segregation distortion, we tested for deviations from expected Mendelian ratios (1:2:1) based on observed (O) and expected (E) genotype frequencies summed across both surviving and dead progeny. The exact multinomial probability for the observed or a larger deviation is given.
