Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book on canary inheritance elucidates the genetic characteristics of these popular cage birds. Historically, canaries have been domesticated for about 250 years, and this book places their relatively recent domestication within the context of our understanding of genetic inheritance. The author meticulously bred canaries and analyzed their offspring to map the inheritance patterns of crest and plumage color, revealing the genetic mechanisms behind these traits. The book also explores the inheritance of more complex characteristics, such as mottling and ticking, and discusses the role of âunit-charactersâ in determining the diverse plumage of these birds. Through its detailed analysis, this book provides valuable insights into the genetic basis of canary traits and contributes to our understanding of inheritance in domesticated species.
