On Our Selection (Australian Film, 1932) [Part 1 of 8]

By


Description given on Youtube:
Murtagh Joseph Rudd (Percy Walshe), known as Dad, and his son Dave (Tal Ordell) finish a bark hut on their newly established ‘selection’ of virgin bush. The rest of the family arrive and get to work, clearing the land by hand and planting a first crop of corn. The challenges include wildlife in their beds and no money to buy a horse, but their hard work pays off. In a year or two, the Rudds have a working farm and a more comfortable home, thanks to the domestic labours of Mrs Rudd (Beatrice Esmond). A bushfire and several years of drought impoverish them, but they hold on against all adversity.

When Kate Rudd (Evelyn Johnson) returns from her job teaching in the city, she falls for an eligible young farmer, Sandy Taylor (Arthur Greenaway). Dave and his sister Sarah (Charlotte Beaumont) also find sweethearts, although Dad tries to shoot one of them. Kate’s wedding allows all grudges to be forgotten.

It’s an early start for Evald…he’s busy tending to his 300 cows on his farm of around 200 hectares. Evald lives and works 40 kilometres from Aarhus in a small village on Denmark’s Jutland peninsula. He comes from good farming stock following in the footsteps of his father and his grand father…However in 1994 Evald decided to go organic.

Quantitative Genetics – How to find number of genes controlling the trait

QUANTITATIVE TRAITS
Most phenotypic traits in plants and animals are affected by many genes (size, weight, shape, lifespan, physiological traits, fecundity). Often, it is not feasible to determine the number of genes affecting a particular trait, and the individual effects of genes on the phenotype. Many of these traits can be measured on a quantitative, rather than a qualitative, scale. This is where the terms quantitative trait and quantitative genetics come from.
Quantitative traits:
1. Have continuous distributions, not discrete classes
2. Are usually affected by many genes (polygenic)
3. Are also affected by environmental factors
EXAMPLE: COLOR OF WHEAT KERNELS
This trait is determined by two genes that contribute “doses” of red pigment, and display partial dominance (heterozygotes intermediate). Each allele with the subscript “1” contributes 1 dose of red pigment. This trait demonstrates additive effects among different alleles at a single locus, and among alleles at different genetic loci. Genes with subscript “2 ” don’t contribute any red pigment.
Polygenic inheritance refers to inheritance of a phenotypic characteristic (trait) that is attributable to two or more genes and can be measured quantitatively. Multifactorial inheritance refers to polygenic inheritance that also includes interactions with the environment. Unlike monogenic traits, polygenic traits do not follow patterns of Mendelian inheritance (separated traits). Instead, their phenotypes typically vary along a continuous gradient depicted by a bell curve.
An example of a polygenic trait is human skin color variation. Several genes factor into determining a person’s natural skin color, so modifying only one of those genes can change skin color slightly or in some cases, such as for SLC24A5, moderately. Many disorders with genetic components are polygenic, including autism, cancer, diabetes and numerous others. Most phenotypic characteristics are the result of the interaction of multiple genes.
