(G-I) Heterozygotes for jef^tw37 injected with MOs. (J-L) MO injected homozygous jef^tw37 individuals. (A,D,G,J) Lateral view of 5 dpf animals, anterior towards the left. (B,E,H,K) Ventral view of dissected cartilages, anterior towards the left. (C,F,I,L) Right pectoral and fin skeleton, proximal towards the left. bh, basihyal; bsr, branchiostegal rays; cb, ceratobranchials; ch, ceratohyal; ch?, presumed ceratohyal; cl, cleithrum; ed, endoskeletal disk; co, scapulocoracoid; hs, hyosymplectic; m, Meckel's cartilage; m/de? putative Meckel's cartilage and dentary bone; op, opercule; pq, palatoquadrate.
