- W2062285724 abstract "1. The biometric approach to selection experiments has been outlined, and found to be rather deficient because it is based on excessively restrictive models which cannot take into account the complex architectures of quantitative traits as are being revealed today. 2. The nature of polygenes is discussed in detail from the theoretical point of view. In out breeding species, some form of the balanced polygenic complex is likely, showing polymorphism for the constituent genes. Although polymorphism is implicit in the argument, definitive evidence for poiymorphisms has only just appeared. 3. There is no evidence that polygenes differ from any other gene. 4. Several artificial selection experiments are described, in particular in Drosophila. By means of appropriate breeding techniques after obtaining responses to selection, genetic activity controlling quantitative traits can be located to chromosomes, and even specific loci found. Such few studies as have been carried out reveal, in general, the types of genetic architecture predicted on theoretical grounds. 5. Selection for behavioural traits is considered briefly and it appears that no new principles are needed, except that careful environmental control and objective measurement present problems. 6. The results of selection for quantitative traits in micro-organisms reveal similarities to results in higher organisms in the few cases where definitive work has been carried out. 7. Work on the simulation of models by computers has not greatly advanced selection experiment theory, mainly because, with few exceptions, linkage has been ignored. 8. The existing theory on which selection experiments are based is inadequate for several reasons. It cannot predict the rate of response to selection nor the ultimate limits to selection, the nature of correlated responses to selection, nor the nature of gene segregation underlying the observed variability. 9. Strains set up from single inseminated founder females from the same population of Drosophila have been shown to differ genetically for several quantitative traits. Therefore the base population is polymorphic for genes controlling these traits. This was exploited by carrying out directional selection on lines derived from those strains showing a high incidence of scutellar chaetae. This led to far more rapid responses to selection than lines derived from strains where the incidence of scutellar chaetae was lower. 10. Ultimately, one can envisage the selection experiment as it is known today being partly replaced by the manipulation of located genes controlling quantitative traits into certain combinations." @default.
