Role of the aleutian gene in Mustela vison ontogenesis. 1. Estimation for the divergence among the offspring derived from ppAa female x ppAa male minks crosses

Yu. V. Vagin

The results of the estimation for the divergence by phenotype among the offspring of the silver-blue female minks (Mustela vison) heterozygous by the aleutian gene (ppAa genotype) to be mated with the males of counterpart genotype are presented. The proportions of both silver-blue and sapphiric cubs upon birth are shown to deviate from the expected ones.
