Abstract
SUMMARY: The incidence of many minor skeletal variants in the inbred mouse strain C57BL can be influenced by the diet on which the parents live: in many cases, the effect is mediated by a correlation with body size. This also seems to be true in Falconer's (1973) Q-strain in which body size has been increased or decreased by selection. However, there was so much heterogeneity between replicates within selection lines that variants influenced by body size could be detected as a group, but not identified individually.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
