Excerpt from Introduction to Quantitative Genetics
Many people have helped me in various ways, to all of Whom I should like to express my thanks. I am greatly indebted to Professor C. H. Waddington for his encouragement and for the facilities that I have enjoyed in his laboratory. It is no exaggeration to say that With out Dr Alan Robertson's help this book could not have been written. Not only has his reading of the manuscript led to the elimination of many errors, but I have been greatly assisted in my understanding of the subject, particularly its more mathematical aspects, by frequent discussions With him. Dr R. C. Roberts read the Whole manuscript With great care and his valuable suggestions led to many improve ments being made. Parts of the manuscript were read also by Dr N. Bateman, Dr J. C. Bowman, Dr D. G. Gilmour, Dr J. H. Sang, and my Wife, to all of Whom I am grateful for advice. I owe much also to the Honours and Diploma students of Animal Genetics in Edinburgh between 1951 and 1957, Whose questions led to improve ments of presentation at many points. Despite all the help I have received, many imperfections remain and there can hardly fail to be some errors that have escaped detection the responsibility for all of these is entirely mine. To Mr E. D. Roberts I am indebted for drawing all the graphs and diagrams, and I greatly appreciate the care and skill with Which he has drawn them. I am indebted also to the Director and Staff of the Commonwealth Bureau of Animal Breeding for assistance With the preparation of the list of references.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of quantitative genetics, exploring how individual differences in traits like size, intelligence, and disease susceptibility are passed down through generations. Unlike the study of simple genetic traits, which often involve just one or two genes, quantitative genetics grapples with the complexities of traits influenced by numerous genes working in concert. Building upon the foundational principles of Mendelian genetics, the author guides readers through the intricate dynamics of genes within populations. This journey begins with an exploration of gene frequencies and how they are shaped by factors like migration, mutation, and selection. The book then delves into the unique challenges posed by small populations, where chance events can have a significant impact on genetic makeup. With a focus on understanding continuous variation in traits, the author examines the interplay between genetic and environmental influences. Concepts like heritability, the degree to which a trait is influenced by genes, are explored in detail, along with the methods used to estimate it. The book then tackles the crucial topic of selection, both natural and artificial, and how it shapes the genetic landscape of populations over time. By illuminating the complex mechanisms underlying the inheritance of quantitative traits, this book offers profound insights into the forces driving evolution and shaping the diversity of life on Earth. 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. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781527837577_0
