## Abstract The alleles at the agouti locus in the mouse determine whether eumelanin or pheomelanin is synthesized by the follicular melanocytes. The agouti suppressor (__A^s^__) mutation, which is closely linked to the agouti locus, reduces the amount of pheomelanin produced by whatever agouti all

Genotype and the degree of chimerism expressed in the coat color of chimeric (allophenic) mice were found to be related to the frequency of multicolored chimeras, the sex ratio, and the production of gametes. The sex ratios of 310 chimeric mice of various combinations of genotypes were studied. The
We compared the behaviors of eight inbred mouse strains across 18 variables, using 11 behavioral assays, and gave ethanol (EtOH) as an intoxicant. Genetic influences on behavior and sensitivity to EtOH were pronounced, but strain sensitivities were generally only modestly correlated across tasks. Ce
