  • Effects of radiation on selection progress in mice

    Creator:
    Womack, James Ernest
    Abstract:
    The effects of x-irradiation on quantitative genetic traits was investigated by comparing the response of irradiated mice to selection for litter size and 28-day weight with the response to selection for the same two traits in non-irradiated lines. Irradiated lines were maintained at three levels of x-irradiation, 25 r, 50...

  • Genetic polymorphism of sheep hemoglobin

    Creator:
    Templeton, Joe Wayne, 1941-
    Abstract:
    Five breeds of sheep (Columbia, Targhee, Rambouillet, Lincoln, and Suffolk) were found to possess two hemoglobin types (Hb. A and Hb. B) when their hemoglobins were examined by disc gel electrophoresis. The hemoglobin alleles proved to be co-dominant. Three of the breeds (Columbia, Targhee, and Rambouillet) were maintained at altitudes...

  • Influence of chelating agents on cytological exchanges and genetic recombination in Zea mays L.

    Creator:
    Jones, Donald Dean
    Abstract:
    The present investigation with the chromosomes of Zea mays was conducted to determine: (1) the effects of chelating agents on the process of cytological exchange, and (2) the effects of chelating agents on genetic recombination. To ascertain the influence of chelating agents on cytological exchange, four known heterozygolis paracentric inversion...

  • Estimation of general and specific combining abilities from a diallel cross of three inbred lines of Suffolk sheep

    Creator:
    Schilling, Prentiss E. (Prentiss Edwin), 1941-
    Abstract:
    The investigations were based on a complete diallel cross among three inbred lines of Suffolk sheep. Line of sire effects were assumed to be an estimate of general combining ability effects while sire x dam interaction was assumed to be an estimate of specific combining ability. The line of dam...

  • Genetic and physiological relationships of growth hormone and growth in goats

    Creator:
    Simms, Danny Dale
    Abstract:
    An F₁ population resulting from mating pygmy and normal goats (local commercial breeds) was crossed to give an F₂ population. Analysis of wither height and body weight indicated that the F₂ population was intermediate between the parental types (pygmy and normal) with little overlap of phenotypic values for body size...

  • Genetics of sheep transferrins as determined by disc electrophoresis

    Creator:
    Nix, Carroll Eugene
    Abstract:
    A total of 902 plasma samples from the Rambouillet, Targhee, Columbia, Lincoln, and Suffolk breeds of sheep were analyzed for transferrin type by disc electrophoresis. Six transferrin types, Tf[superscript A], Tf[superscript B], Tf[superscript C], Tf[superscript p], Tf[superscript E], and Tf[superscript P], were found in the Rambouillet, Targhee, and Columbia breeds...

  • Estimates of combining abilities, heterotic effects and phenotypic correlations among in-bred lines of beef cattle and their line-crosses

    Creator:
    Humes, Paul Edwin
    Abstract:
    The investigations were based on a complete diallel cross among three inbred lines of Hereford cattle. Records of Angus calves born during the same period were used to obtain more accurate estimates of environmental effects and to determine breed differences among the various traits included in the study. Estimates of...

  • An analysis of the response to selection for high and low rate of gain in the mouse, Mus musculus

    Creator:
    Burrill, Melinda Jane
    Abstract:
    An experiment was conducted to examine the responses to selection for high and low rate of gain in the mouse under a system whereby inbreeding was maximized. Rate of gain was measured by an index designed to include gains in both the pre- and postweaning periods with the gains in...

    Creator:
    Lind, Ronald Egnard
    Abstract:
    An experiment was conducted to determine if selection from standardized litters would be effective in separating lines of mice selected for increased and decreased litter weight at 14 days of age, and if response to selection on this maternally influenced trait could be accurately predicted. Data were collected on litter...
