Twenty-eight Columbia ewes were made available for study
during their breeding and anestrous seasons. After the regularity
of the estrous cycles had been established, eight of the ewes were
sacrificed in pairs at four different stages of the estrous cycle.
Eight additional ewes were sacrificed during anestrus. Pituitary
glands, ovaries,...
This investigation for the first time reports information on the
correlation of various forms and ratios of nicotinamide nucleotide
coenzymes in the liver tissue and endocrine glands weight with
various production traits. Fifty-five inbred and line cross beef bulls
raised under standard management conditions and slaughtered at 1000
lbs. body...
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...
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...
Oögenesis in the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus
was studied by histological methods and by histochemical techniques
for polysaccharides, lipids, and nucleic acids Urchins were
collected at Yaquina Head, Oregon at regular intervals between
April 1966 and March 1967. An attempt was made to correlate
seasonal variations in the coastal water...
The purposes of this investigation were twofold:
1. To determine important criteria for making a selection of
course content in general biology.
2. To ascertain what should be the content emphasis in
biology for the purposes of general education at the freshman
college level.
The literature pertinent to the problem...
Crossover frequencies for seven selected regions on five
chromosomes of maize were measured to ascertain the effect of
chelating agents on recombination. Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid,
EDTA, and dimethyl sulfoxide, DMSO, were used in three concentrations
singly, and in all combinations. Plants heterozygous for
for linked genes governing seed and seedling...
