Abstract

The results of the estimation for the divergence by phenotype among the offspring of the silver-blue female minks (Mustela vison) heterozygous by the aleutian gene (ppAa genotype) to be mated with the males of counterpart genotype are presented. The proportions of both silver-blue and sapphiric cubs upon birth are shown to deviate from the expected ones.
