Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book unpacks the behaviors and patterns of inheritance in silkworms, primarily focusing on four distinct life-stages: eggs, larva, cocoon and moths, including their patterning, color, adhesiveness, and size. Beginning in the early 1900s, the author meticulously cross-bred and studied fifteen different silkworm races, totaling over seven generations, to analyze these inherited traits. Through their rigorous experimentation and detailed record-keeping, they challenge the notion that inheritance is a consistent, predictable process. The author finds that while some characteristics, like larval patterns, follow strict Mendelian principles of inheritance, others, like cocoon coloration and moth wing patterns, demonstrate variability and idiosyncratic behaviors. They posit that these inconsistencies may be due to strain or individual differences, highlighting the complexity of inheritance and the importance of considering factors beyond just genetics. This book, born from years of extensive crossbreeding experiments and thorough analysis, sheds light on the intricate mechanisms of inheritance in silkworms, making it a valuable resource for geneticists, entomologists, and those interested in the complexities of heredity.
