An Introduction to Form and Feathering of the Domestic Fowl
by: Reeder, Brian
What is a Gene? When we think of the definition of the word gene, we think
of discrete units of DNA that have a very specific purpose. These units
are the basis of heredity in living organisms. Genes are generally located
on DNA, a chain made of similar but subtly different nucleotides abbreviated
as A, C, G, and T. DNA never leaves the nucleus of the cell where it serves
as a type of reference book that is used to provide information on how
to make whatever a cell needs or uses. Like a reference book that cannot
leave the library, a copy must be made. The copy is called RNA. ... Of
the generally described poultry genes, a great many do appear to be very
straightforward. This is especially true of many of the autosomal recessives
that we see in color and form in fowl. Of the dominant genes described,
some seem to be simple, yet others appear to be multi-factoral and variable
with modification from any possible background factor(s). Complex gene
traits that have no clear dominance or recessive nature, such as eggshell
color or earlobe color, seem to be difficult to describe in any Mendelian
fashion. Their genetic basis is difficult to hypothesize based upon a
strictly Mendelian approach. They are considered quantitative, meaning
that the extremes seem to be arrived at through a cumulative effect rather
than through the usual Mendelian segregation of extremes of phenotype
expression. 112 pgs.
