mortality/aging
• no pink-eyed dilute offspring are recovered from matings between mice heterozygous for this inversion, and eyes of all 14 dpc embryos from such matings are pigmented, indicating they all have a wild-type chromosome
• 14 dpc uteri of heterozygous females bred with heterozygous males contain fewer implantation sites than corpora lutea and no resorption moles, indicating death of the homozygous embryos occurs prior to implantation
