Abstract
I. Genetics at the Level of the Individual. Transmission genetics: the rules of inheritance (J.F. Crow). Inheritance associated with sex (W.D. Hohenboken). II. Genetics at the Level of the Population. Genes in population (W.D. Hohenboken). Quantitative, threshold and component characteristics (W.D. Hohenboken). Heritability and repeatability (W.D. Hohenboken). Phenotypic, genetic and environmental correlations (W.D. Hohenboken). Maternal effects (W.D. Hohenboken). Genotype x environment interaction (W.D. Hohenboken). Prediction and measurement of response to selection (W.D. Hohenboken). Selection index theory with practical applications (K. Ronningen, L.D. Van Vleck). Genetic structure of populations: closed populations or matings among related individuals (F. Pirchner). Genetic structure of populations: matings among distantly related individuals (W.D. Hohenboken). III. Genetics at the Level of the Cell. Mitosis and meiosis in farm animals (D.L. Zartman). Normal and aberrant chromosome complements of domestic animals (N.S. Fechheimer). Coding, synthesis and biological functions of protein molecules (M.A.J. Ansay, R.H. Hanset). IV. Genetic Engineering. Prospects for genetic engineering in domestic animals (N.S. Fechheimer).
