摘要
By means of complex segregation analysis we studied the inheritance of litter size in two large pedigrees of captive-bred colonies of the Brazilian grass mouse Akodon cursor. Genetic analysis has revealed a highly significant influence of genetic factors on the variation of litter size (heritability, h(2), was estimated as 0-44). The inheritance followed the classical polygene model: neither the major-gene model nor the polygene with unequal contribution model described the data significantly better.
