Studies of Inheritance in Lop-Eared Rabbits.

N 1909 CASTLE published some observations on the behavior of ear I length in crosses between lop-eared and ordinary varieties of rabbits, describing the inheritance as blending. Shortly thereafter LANG (191 I) applied to these observations the multiple factor hypothesis which had been formulated by NILSSON-EHLE on the basis of his studies of quantitative characters in oats and wheat. Since then...

Mitochondrial DNA Mutations, Pathogenicity and Inheritance

Mitochondria contain their own DNA (mtDNA), which codes for 13 proteins (all subunits of the respiratory chain complexes), 22 tRNAs and 2 rRNAs. Several mtDNA point mutations as well as deletions have been shown to be causative in well-defined mitochondrial disorders. A mixture of mutated and wild type mtDNA (heteroplasmy) is found in most of these disorders. Inheritance of mtDNA is maternal, a...

Organelle Inheritance

The need to inherit those membranes that arise from the ER is much less clear. As an example, the integral *Imperial Cancer Research Fund Cell Biology Laboratory membrane proteins and lipids of the Golgi apparatus are derived entirely from the ER. If a daughter did not 44 Lincoln's Inn Fields London WC2A 3PX inherit a copy of the Golgi apparatus, it should be able to synthesize one de novo. Sev...
