Sinopsis
Excerpt from Studies of Inheritance in Rabbits
Lop-eared rabbits are distinguished from ordinary ones chiefly by the enormous size of their ears, which are so large as to hang down, touching the ground on either side of the head. (see plate 1, fig. 2, and plate 2, fig. This breed of rabbit is characterized also by a long tail and unusual Size, being one of the largest breeds known. The characters of large Size and long tail, however, have probably not been sought for their own sake, but have been incidentally obtained in the production of the breed as a result of selection for ears of large size; for among lop-cared rabbits, as a rule, those of the largest size have longest ears.

Excerpt from Studies of Inheritance in Rabbits
In this paper are recorded observations upon inheritance in rabbits which were made in the Harvard Zoological Laboratory with the aid of a grant from the Carnegie Institution of Washington. The authors desire to express their appreciation of that aid, without which these observations could not have been made.
The experiments described were planned by the senior author, and this report also was written by him. Dr. H. E. Walter has made the majority of the extremely laborious observations and computations concerning the inheritance of ear-length and of body-weight. Dr. R. C. Mullenix prepared and measured the rabbit skeletons as a foundation for Part III of this paper; while both Dr. Walter and Mr. Cobb rendered valuable assistance in connection with the study which has been made of color inheritance. The senior author alone is responsible for the analytical treatment of the observations.

Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates heredity in rabbits, particularly examining the inheritance of ear-size and body-weight. The characteristics of lop-eared rabbits are examined, including their sterility and its inheritance. The growth rate of lop-eared and short-eared rabbits is then studied in relation to size and ear-length. The main body of the text analyses the results of crossbreeding lop-eared rabbits with regular short-eared ones. The author concludes that offspring are a blend of parental characteristics, conforming to a mid-parental condition. This is true for both ear-length and body-weight, with no evidence of the dominance of one trait over the other. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781332300242_0
