Domaine(s)
  • Amélioration génétique des animaux
CONT

La plupart des anomalies congénitales sont conditionnées par des gènes récessifs; en conséquence, pour pouvoir reconnaître qu'une anomalie est héréditaire il faut s'appuyer sur les résultats d'accouplements expérimentaux dans lesquels le pourcentage d'apparition de cette anomalie va correspondre à la fréquence qui avait été fixée théoriquement.

OBS

accouplement. Appariement entre des reproducteurs mâle et femelle d'une même espèce pour engendrer un descendant.
