  1. aMutants are embryos with Alk1GFPCre/+;Tgfbr2f/f or Alk1GFPCre/+;Alk5f/f genotypes, and the number in parenthesis indicates the number of embryos with control genotypes.
  2. ND, not determined: all of the resorbed mutants exhibited some degrees of cerebral and spinal hemorrhages.
  3. *Indicates number of embryos found resorbed.
