"Bent-Tail," A Dominant, Sex-Linked Mutation in the Mouse.
Although sex-linkage in animals is no longer an unusual phenomenon, its apparent rarity in rodents is noteworthy, especially in the intensively studied house mouse and rat. Hauschka, et al.,1 have presented evidence for a sex-linked lethal altering the sex ratio in the house mouse; Falconer2 recently reported a second sex-linked mutation in the house mouse. A third sex-linked mutation, Bent-tai...
متن کاملDNA microsatellites linked to quantitative trait loci affecting antibody response and survival rate in meat-type chickens.
Selection for immune response parameters may lead to improved general disease resistance. Because disease resistance and immune response are hard-to-measure quantitative traits with low to moderate heritability, they may respond more efficiently to marker-assisted selection (MAS) than to phenotypic selection. To detect DNA markers linked to quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with immune r...
متن کاملDynamics of a Sex-Linked Deleterious Mutation in Populations Subject to Sex Reversal
The heterogametic sex chromosomes (i.e. mammalian Y and avian W) do not usually recombine with the homogametic sex chromosomes which is known to lead into rapid degeneration of Y and W due to accumulation of deleterious mutations. On the other hand, some 96% of amphibian species have homomorphic, i.e. non-degenerate Y chromosomes. Nicolas Perrin's fountain-of-youth hypothesis states that this i...
متن کاملa study on rate making and required reserves determination in reinsurance market: a simulation
reinsurance is widely recognized as an important instrument in the capital management of an insurance company as well as its risk management tool. this thesis is intended to determine premium rates for different types of reinsurance policies. also, given the fact that the reinsurance coverage of every company depends upon its reserves, so different types of reserves and the method of their calc...
Spontaneous high density lipoprotein deficiency syndrome associated with a Z-linked mutation in chickens.
A mutant strain of chicken previously identified by a "recessive white skin" phenotype was found to have a profound deficiency in high density lipoprotein (HDL) and apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I). ApoA-I levels in the mutant chickens were reduced by greater than 90%. Since HDL is the predominant cholesterol transporter in chickens, the HDL deficiency was associated with a greater than 80% decrease...
