Genetic Effects of Gamma-irradiation on Egg Production and Adult Emergence of Drosophila Melanogaster.
HE importance of assessing the over-all genetic effects of radiation was reTcently emphasized by EHLING and RANDOLPH (1962). Although many human characteristics and most of the productive traits of plants and animals are biometrical in nature, little evidence is available concerning the genetic effects of radiation on biometrical traits. The study of the genetic effects of radiation on biometri...
متن کاملEstimation of variances for gametic effects on litter size in Yorkshire and Landrace swine.
The objective of this study was to test for effects of gametic imprinting on litter size in swine by estimating variances for parent-specific gametic effects. Data were 64,047 and 137,009 multiparous records of number born alive for the U.S. Landrace and Yorkshire breeds, respectively. The statistical model included fixed effects of parity number and herd, and random effects of herd-year-season...
متن کاملThe frequency of X ray-induced dominant and recessive lethal mutations in the rat.
P A R T of the genetic damage induced by X rays may be due to mutations which have harmful effects on viability. Such mutations may vary in the seventy of their effects from lethal to mildly detrimental, and in degree of dominance from completely dominant or overdominant to completely recessive. The difficulties of obtaining precise mutation rate estimates for viability mutations in mammals are...
متن کاملEarly dietary intervention: long-term effects on blood pressure, brain neuropeptide Y, and adiposity markers.
Early life nutrition impacts on subsequent risk of obesity and hypertension. Several brain chemicals responsible for both feeding and cardiovascular regulation are altered in obesity. We examined effects of early postnatal overnutrition on blood pressure, brain neuropeptide Y (NPY), and adiposity markers. Rat pup litters were adjusted to either 3 or 12 male animals (overnutrition and control, r...
متن کاملInheritance of teat number and its relationship to maternal traits in swine.
The relationship of teat number to seven measures of female reproduction was evaluated in the University of Nebraska Gene Pool population. Teat number was recorded for 7,513 pigs, ovulation rate for 2,794 gilts and litter size and weight at birth and weaning (42 days) for 789 gilts. Paternal half-sib and full-sib analyses were used to estimate heritabilities for each trait and to estimate the g...
