Abstract excerpt
Ontogenetic variation in the causal components of phenotypic variability and covariability is described for body weight and tail length in mice derived from a full 7 x 7 diallel cross. Age-related changes in additive, dominance, sex-linked and maternal variance and covariance between 14 and 70 days of age are described. Age-specific variance components at time t are conditioned on the causal genetic effects at...
