  1. Two-way ANOVA on embryo mortalities observed in the second breeding experiment when 13 males are crossed with 6 females in a full-factorial design and the embryos raised in 3 Petri dishes per sibship. Because the experimental set-up is fully balanced, results are based on EMS (Expected Mean Square). Sire, dam, and sire × dam interaction were random effects in the model. The negative estimate for the variance component of the interaction term is put to zero.
