Heterosis
Definition:
(n.) A figure of speech by which one form of a noun, verb, or pronoun, and the like, is used for another, as in the sentence: "What is life to such as me?"
Example Sentences:
(1) A comparative study was performed for isoelectric and electrophoretic spectra blood serum albumin of parental breeds of chickens and their heterosis hybrids --broiler cocks.
(2) Heterosis and recombination effects were not significant for milk production or milk composition.
(3) Heterosis with multiplicative action between loci implies multiplicative accumulation of heterosis present at individual loci in part I, in addition to multiplicative (a x a)-interaction in part II.
(4) Effects of maternal heterosis were positive for both prenatal and postnatal survival.
(5) These results support the hypothesis that heterosis in cattle for traits related to growth and size is due to dominance effects of genes.
(6) The possible explanations for heterosis and heterozygous advantage have included the hypothesis that the metabolic versatility of heterozygotes for functional alleles of structural genes would enhance resistance to environmental insult, i.e.
(7) Heterosis effects in animals of all ages for reproductive traits in F1 dams producing F2 progeny differed among the three composite populations, as did heterosis retained in combined F2 and F3 dams producing F3 and F4 progeny.
(8) Heterosis for postweaning growth rate was 3.9% (P less than .01) and for slaughter weight 5.0% (P less than .01).
(9) Variables important for selection were determined by breeding value, individual and maternal heterosis, parity, size of birth litter, sex, age of dam, genetic and environmental relationships between variables, and common litter, permanent, and random environmental effects.
(10) The growth rate of the steers differed in the two environments; however, heterosis for slaughter weight was of the same magnitude in both environments.
(11) Percent direct heterosis for body weight was larger in the selected crosses relative to the control crosses through 31 days of age, but the trend was reversed by 63 days.
(12) Direct heterosis tended to be larger than maternal heterosis in both selected and control crosses.
(13) Data on 135 young bulls from a two-breed group diallel experiment involving double-muscled (DM) and normal (N) cattle were analyzed to obtain estimates of heterosis, maternal and direct effects for carcass traits.
(14) Differences in dimer stabilities in vivo would affect the total GPI-1 levels in heterozygotes and could account for non-additive inheritance but would be insufficient to explain heterosis for GPI-1 activity.
(15) The effects of maternal heterosis and maternal and grandmaternal breed effects on cumulative lifetime number and weight of calves weaned per cow entering the breeding herd were evaluated for 172 reciprocal crossbred and 156 straightbred cows of the Hereford, Angus, and Shorthorn breeds.
(16) Hypothesis 1: Heterosis is a consequence of a more efficient hybrid metabolic system in that it can produce more product with equal input.
(17) Allelic effects are assumed to be additive on the scale of enzyme activity, heterosis arising whenever a heterozygote has a mean level of activity closer to optimal than that of other genotypes in the population.-A new measure of genetic divergence between populations is proposed, which is readily interpreted genetically, and increases approximately linearly with time under centripetal selection, drift and mutation.
