The Measurement of the Intensity of Inbreeding (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a method for measuring the intensity of inbreeding, called the "coefficients of inbreeding." The author defines inbreeding as the narrowing of the network of descent as a result of mating together individuals genetically related to one another in some degree, leading to a reduction in the number and variety of ancestors in a particular pedigree. The coefficients of inbreeding measure the degree to which the number of ancestors in a given generation falls short of the maximum possible number. They are calculated by taking into account the number of generations over which inbreeding has occurred, as well as the number of different ancestors in each generation. These coefficients provide a precise and general measure of the intensity of inbreeding, applicable to all pedigrees and all degrees and types of inbreeding. By providing a numerical value for the degree of inbreeding in a particular case, this method allows for the comparison and analysis of inbreeding practices in different pedigrees. It can be a valuable tool for breeders and researchers studying the effects of inbreeding on the genetic make-up and characteristics of individuals. 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 # 9781527770591_0
