Davenport also discusses the different types of inheritance patterns observed in canaries, such as dominant and recessive traits, and provides detailed descriptions of the physical and behavioral characteristics of the birds.Inheritance In Canaries is a seminal work in the field of genetics and is considered a classic in the study of animal breeding and inheritance. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both scientists and lay readers. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of genetics and the study of animal behavior.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
