Studies in Artificial Selection of Quantitative Characters II. Selection for Body Weight in Drosophila Melanogaster

The method of diallel crossing within a population with random mating was used to estimate genetic parameters for body weight in an Oregon-RO laboratory stock. This showed an absence of additive genetic variability, a high proportion of non-additive genetic variability, and considerable genotype-env...

Zusammenfassung:The method of diallel crossing within a population with random mating was used to estimate genetic parameters for body weight in an Oregon-RO laboratory stock. This showed an absence of additive genetic variability, a high proportion of non-additive genetic variability, and considerable genotype-environment interaction.
