Dairymen and 4-H'ers are learning together. The 4-H Dairy Genetics Project" was planned to give youth a genetics program and give the farmers a review of the true genetic makeup of their herds. (MR)

Three case studies of patients (relatives) suffering from a chromosomal aberration (translocation between one of the C group chromosomes and one of the G group chromosomes) resulting in severe mental retardation and skin malformations are reported. It was suggested that the anomaly is hereditary in nature (CD)

Describes somatic and genetic manipulations of individual genotypes, using diabetes control as an example of the first mode that is potentially realizable be derepression or viral transduction of genes. Advocates the use of genetic engineering of the second mode to remove man from his biological limitations, but offers maxims to ensure the…

This essay describes how Francis Crick, ex-physicist, entered the field of biology and discovered the structure of DNA. Emphasis is upon the double helix, the sequence hypothesis, the central dogma, and the genetic code. (VW)

Declares that media sensationalism and the ignoring of facts has contributed to both public and scientific overreaction to radiation hazards. Examples of public concern and lack of scientific evidence are given. (PR)

Uses population growth models to calculate the theoretical suppression of reproduction achieved by releasing irradiated male moths carrying genetic sterility factors. Shows that releasing partially sterile males should be more effective than releasing fully sterile males. Discusses the costs and advantages of applying this approach to the control…
