TL;DR: When in theF1 offspring of a cross between two animal species or races one sex is absent, rare, or sterile, that sex is always the heterozygous sex.

TL;DR: Statistical calculations are made of the distribution numbers of mutants in a culture of bacteria in which the number of mutants increases on account of new mutations and of division of old mutants, which enable the mutation rate to be inferred from experiments with parallel cultures.
Abstract: Statistical calculations are made of the distribution numbers of mutants in a culture of bacteria in which the number of mutants increases on account both of new mutations and of division of old mutants. In this way the largely qualitative conclusions of Luria and Delbruck are extended and placed on a firm quantitative basis. The results of these calculations, which enable the mutation rate to be inferred from experiments with parallel cultures, are presented in the form of tables. Statistically efficient methods of using these tables are discussed.

TL;DR: It is suggested that, in horotelic evolution, the mean time taken for each gene substitution is about 300 generations, which accords with the observed slowness of evolution.
Abstract: Unless selection is very intense, the number of deaths needed to secure the substitution, by natural selection, of one gene for another at a locus, is independent of the intensity of selection. It is often about 30 times the number of organisms in a generation. It is suggested that, in horotelic evolution, the mean time taken for each gene substitution is . about 300 generations. This accords with the observed slowness of evolution.

TL;DR: The tail anomalies are produced mechanically either by spina bifida which persists, or by a rudimentary form of it (delayed closure of the posterior neuropore) which is transitory as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Curly-tail is probably due to a single recessive gene whose manifestation is greatly influenced by the genetic background. The tail anomalies are produced mechanically either by spina bifida which persists, or by a rudimentary form of it (delayed closure of the posterior neuropore) which is transitory.

TL;DR: The rate of mutation at which the gene for haemophilia appears in the population of London is estimated at about once in 50,000 human life cycles, with the milder type arising less frequently by mutation than the severe type.
Abstract: The rate of mutation at which the gene for haemophilia appears in the population of London is estimated at about once in 50,000 human life cycles. There are probably two distinct allelomorphs at the same locus, the milder type arising less frequently by mutation than the severe type.
