as my father and grandfather were also members of our great profession I thought I would try and look at life as it was since 1846 when my grandfather obtained his qualificationi of L.R.C.S. in Edinibuirgh, inci(denltally he was Presi(lent of this Society in 187576. During that early period what great names were brought before the students. Moses, the first great doctor in Egypt, laid down laws...

this experiment was conducted to determine gene action for different traits of chickpea including days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, 100-seeds weight, number of pods per plant and seed yield. five genotypes including arman, hashem, ilc588, iccv2 and ilc3279 were selected and crossed with each other. four generations of each cross along with parents were evaluated in a random...

Interpopulation hybridization can lead to outbreeding depression within affected populations due to breakdown of coadapted gene complexes or heterosis in hybrid populations. One of the principal methods commonly used to estimate the level of developmental instability (DI) is fluctuating asymmetry (FA). We used three genetically differentiated Drosophila subobscura populations according to inver...

Method R and Restricted Maximum Likelihood (REML) were compared for estimating heritability (h2) and subsequent prediction of breeding values (a) with data subject to selection. A single-trait animal model was used to generate the data and to predict breeding values. The data originated from 10 sires and 100 dams and simulation progressed for 10 overlapping generations. In simulating the data, ...
