Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a compilation of research conducted by the author over the course of over a decade. The early part of this book details the author's work with guinea pigs and rabbits, and how the author was able to use the results gleaned from his experiments to draw conclusions on a broader level regarding the mechanisms and complexities of heredity in mammals. The author's work centers around two main principles of heredity, dominance and segregation, first elucidated by Gregor Mendel through his work with pea plants. These principles posit that in the case of a heritable characteristic with two distinct forms, the dominant characteristic will be expressed when a mammal has one copy of the gene for that characteristic, while the recessive form will only be expressed if both copies of the gene are of that form. Segregation refers to the separation of the two alleles (versions) of the gene when gametes (sex cells) are formed. Furthermore, the author also tested the hypotheses of Galton and Pearson regarding ancestral heredity by comparing their predictions to observations from his experiments with guinea pig heredity. Through extensive cross-breeding experiments, the author was able to show that, contrary to the hypotheses of Galton and Pearson, a pigmented animal which carries recessive albinism will form gametes approximately 50% of which bear the albino characteristic. Therefore, in the case of albinism, the author's experiments support Mendel's law of heredity rather than the law of ancestral heredity. Additionally, the author presents evidence that certain pigment genes, while remaining recessive in heredity, are not completely latent but can have an impact on the phenotype of the mammal that carries them. For example, the author was able to show that black individuals carrying the recessive red gene would still produce offspring with red pigmentation when bred with albino animals, adding further complexity to Mendelian genetics. In conclusion, this book presents a wealth of data and insights derived from the author's work with guinea pigs and rabbits, and serves as a valuable resource for those interested in the study of mammalian heredity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
