Synopsis:

Excerpt from Piebald Rats and Selection: An Experimental Test of the Effectiveness of Selection and of the Theory of Gametic Purity in Mendelian Crosses

Some conception Of the work entailed in the investigation may be gathered from the statement that we have during its progress reared and studied the color pattern Of over rats. A long and arduous investigation of this kind has been made possible by a series Of grants from the Carnegie Institution Of Washington made to the senior author, for which he here makes grateful acknowledgment. Thanks are also due to Dean W. C. Sabine, Of Harvard University, for encouraging and supporting the work in a variety Of ways.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book dives into the complex genetic makeup of Piebald rats and the fascinating effects of selection on their distinct coat patterns. The author, a leading expert in the field, embarked on a six-year investigation to unravel the mysteries surrounding the genetic inheritance of these animals. Through meticulous experiments involving controlled breeding and observation, the book unveils the intricate relationship between genes and the visible characteristics of these rats. The author's findings challenge the long-held belief that genetic inheritance is immutable, demonstrating instead that careful selection can induce significant changes in the genetic makeup of a species. These findings have significant implications for our understanding of genetics and the potential for selective breeding in both animals and plants. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
