Abstract excerpt
Genetic influences on female reproductive cycles were analysed in histocompatibility-congenic strains of mice. Oestrous cycles of young, virgin mice of inbred-congenic strains, hybrid crosses (F1), and parental-hybrid backcrosses (F2) were monitored for 3 months. Oestrous cycles were categorized...
