概括
子生长速度的遗传选择没有对料效率或整体生殖性能产生负面影响. 然而,它导致体重增加和 litter 尺寸增加,并观察到一些最初的生殖挑战.
科学领域:
- 动物科学动物科学
- 遗传学 遗传学 是一个
- 生殖生物学 生殖生物学
背景情况:
- 为了提高牲畜生长速度的遗传选择可能会损害生殖效率.
- 子是研究生长和繁殖之间的相互作用的宝贵模型,因为它们的繁殖周期很短.
研究的目的:
- 研究生长率遗传选择对子生殖表现,资源分配和生理特征的长期影响.
- 为了确定成长选择是否会影响子模型的料效率,生育能力,繁殖能力或生存.
主要方法:
- 两种子种群 (R19V和R37V) 的比较,使用了18代的生长速度遗传选择.
- 在五个周期内评估营养消化能力,身体成分 (周围脂肪),血液代谢物,体重,料摄入量,牛奶产量和生殖参数.
- 统计分析以确定所选 (R37V) 和对照 (R19V) 种群之间的显著差异.
主要成果:
- 选择生长速度并没有改变营养消化能力,但在R37V雌性中增加了围脂肪和断和分娩时的体重.
- R37V雌性在分娩前有更高的除率和在第一周期的生育能力较低,但在断奶时表现出更高的繁殖率和 litter 体重.
- 五个周期的料摄入量,牛奶产量和整体生育能力都没有受到生长选择的负面影响.
结论:
- 在子中,对断奶后生长速度的遗传选择不会对整体生殖性能产生显著的负面影响.
- 体重增加和脂肪沉积与生长选择有关,可能会影响最初的生殖成功.
- 子模型表明,增长促进的选择可以在对生殖能力的最小妥协下实现.

Epistasis
45.8K
In addition to multiple alleles at the same locus influencing traits, numerous genes or alleles at different locations may interact and influence phenotypes in a phenomenon called epistasis. For example, rabbit fur can be black or brown depending on whether the animal is homozygous dominant or heterozygous at a TYRP1 locus. However, if the rabbit is also homozygous recessive at a locus on the tyrosinase gene (TYR), it will have an unshaded coat that appears white, regardless of its TYRP1...

What is Natural Selection?
114.6K
Natural selection is an evolutionary process in which individuals with survival-promoting traits reproduce at higher rates. These favorable traits become more common within a population or species. Naturally selected traits initially arise via random genetic mutations. In order for selection to occur, there must be variation within a population, the trait controlling the variation must be heritable, and there must be an evolutionary advantage for variation in the trait.

Energy Budgets
9.2K
Organisms must balance energy intake with the energy required for growth, maintenance and reproduction. These trade-offs result in a variety of survivorship and reproductive strategies, including semelparity and iteroparity. Semelparous species, like annual plants, have only one reproductive episode in their lifetimes and consequently have short lifespans. Iteroparous species, by contrast, have many reproductive events during their lifetimes but have relatively few offspring. These two...

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype
6.4K
Although the genetic makeup of an organism plays a major role in determining the phenotype, there are also several environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen availability, presence of mutagens, that can alter an organism’s phenotype.
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...
