Sinossi
Excerpt from Studies of Inheritance in Rabbits
Lop-eared rabbits are distinguished from ordinary ones chiefly by the enormous size of their ears, which are so large as to hang down, touching the ground on either side of the head. (see plate 1, fig. 2, and plate 2, fig. This breed of rabbit is characterized also by a long tail and unusual Size, being one of the largest breeds known. The characters of large Size and long tail, however, have probably not been sought for their own sake, but have been incidentally obtained in the production of the breed as a result of selection for ears of large size; for among lop-cared rabbits, as a rule, those of the largest size have longest ears.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates heredity in rabbits, particularly examining the inheritance of ear-size and body-weight. The characteristics of lop-eared rabbits are examined, including their sterility and its inheritance. The growth rate of lop-eared and short-eared rabbits is then studied in relation to size and ear-length. The main body of the text analyses the results of crossbreeding lop-eared rabbits with regular short-eared ones. The author concludes that offspring are a blend of parental characteristics, conforming to a mid-parental condition. This is true for both ear-length and body-weight, with no evidence of the dominance of one trait over the other.
