Synopsis

This book presents a robustly documented investigation into the genetics of white-spotting patterns in rabbits and rats. The author, a leading expert in the field, brings together years of research to examine the inheritance of these patterns, particularly the Dutch pattern in rabbits. The book delves into the genetic complexities of these patterns, revealing the presence of multiple allelomorphs, or alternative forms of a gene. Through meticulous experiments, the author demonstrates the phenomenon of mutual modification, where contrasting genetic conditions influence each other's expression within a heterozygous individual. The book's findings advance our understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying inherited traits, highlighting the significance of environmental and genetic factors in shaping phenotypic variation.
