Abstract excerpt
Differences in ovulation rate, embryo survival, litter size, and fertility are presented for four lines of mice that have been selected for growth or are homozygous for a recessive gene (hg) imparting rapid postweaning gain. Two of the lines were hg/hg, one in a growth-neutral and one in a growth-selected background. The remaining two were Hg/Hg (the corresponding normal, dominant allele with no effect on...
