Synopsis
Excerpt from Studies of Heredity in Rabbits, Rats, and Mice
In some Wild mammals the White-spotting is more extensive, taking the form of a definite pattern, as in skunks, the harp-seal, and the Malay tapir. The color pattern of skunks, while characteristic, is known to vary slightly, the value of a pelt increasing with the amount of black which it contains, a fact which the incipient industry of skunk-farming in the United States notes with interest. Selective breeding is being directed toward the establishment of all-black strains and no doubt it will ultimately be successful.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a robustly documented investigation into the genetics of white-spotting patterns in rabbits and rats. The author, a leading expert in the field, brings together years of research to examine the inheritance of these patterns, particularly the Dutch pattern in rabbits. The book delves into the genetic complexities of these patterns, revealing the presence of multiple allelomorphs, or alternative forms of a gene. Through meticulous experiments, the author demonstrates the phenomenon of mutual modification, where contrasting genetic conditions influence each other's expression within a heterozygous individual. The book's findings advance our understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying inherited traits, highlighting the significance of environmental and genetic factors in shaping phenotypic variation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332069965_0
