Studies Of Inheritance In Rabbits Classic Reprint

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. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Genetic Studies of Rabbits and Rats The analysis of such genetic differences is difficult. A pioneer attempt was made by Galton (1889) in his study of human stature, the inheritance of which he characterized as blending. This term was adopted by Castle et al. (1909) in describing the inheritance of ear-length and body-size in rabbits. A Mendelian interpretation of size-inheritance was later advocated by Lang based on the multiple-factor hypothesis of nilsson-ehle and this has now received general acceptance. Davenport (1917) has recently applied it to human stature, but has gone a step farther in assuming that the genetic factors which govern size in one part of the body are often not the same as those which govern the size of other parts. Punnett and Bailey (1914, 1918) in their studies of size-inheritance in poultry and in rabbits bring forward a different hypothesis.
