We turn now to the consideration of the relation of these experimental facts to the theoretical formulation elaborated at the beginning of this paper. It will be recalled that the implications of this theory were that the far transposition test would reveal significant differences between children of different age...

Page 168 - DeVries and Johannsen have thought, but may be genetic also. Hence racial changes may be effected through selection by the isolation of genetic fluctuations, as well as by the isolation of mutations. Moreover, genetic fluctuation makes possible progressive change in a particular direction, repeated selection attaining results which it would be quite hopeless to seek by any other means. 2. The progeny of "mutant

So far from observing further regression as a result of the second cross with wild rats, we have unmistakable evidence that the movement of the mean, mode and range of the hooded character has been in the reverse direction. So the hypothesis of modifying factors to account for the regression and for the progressive changes observed under selection becomes untenable. In repeating the experiment...
Page 71 - However, it seems most satisfactory to the writer to attempt to explain the results on the basis of four quantitative gradations of one factor, which determines the amount of the basic color-producing enzyme, if it is in any way possible.

The mean grade of the hooded young is 3.51, but the number of these young is too small to make this mean of much significance. One of the hooded young...

The hooded grandparents were themselves grandchildren of <? 6348, + 4, generation 10, on the side of both parents.

Factors which affect distribution and intensity of color, largely irrespective of the kind of color. (Act as if on enzyme I).

Factors which affect the distribution and intensity of differentiation from yellow to...

A wild race seemed best suited for a test of this hypothesis, since it would be free from suspicion on the possible ground of harboring either the hooded pattern or its supposed modifier, which had converted the hooded pattern into the mutant. It was to be expected, if the hypothesis were correct, that the mutant character was hooded plus modifier; that then a cross with wild should produce in F2 hooded young (lacking the modifier) as well as mutants and selfs....
