Allele

An allele, or allelomorph, is a variant of the sequence of nucleotides at a particular location, or locus, on a DNA molecule.

See Lord Morton's mare and Allele

Aristotle

Aristotle (Ἀριστοτέλης Aristotélēs; 384–322 BC) was an Ancient Greek philosopher and polymath.

Charles Darwin

Charles Robert Darwin (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist, geologist, and biologist, widely known for his contributions to evolutionary biology.

Dun gene

The dun gene is a dilution gene that affects both red and black pigments in the coat color of a horse.

See Lord Morton's mare and Dun gene

Equid hybrid

Equid hybrids, also called hybrid equines, are created from the crossing of members from the horse family such as a horse, donkey and zebra. Lord Morton's mare and equid hybrid are equid hybrids.

Evolution

Evolution is the change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations.

See Lord Morton's mare and Evolution

George Douglas, 16th Earl of Morton

George Douglas, 16th Earl of Morton, KT, FRS, FRSE, FSA (3 April 1761 – 17 July 1827) was a Scottish peer and politician.

Mare

A mare is an adult female horse or other equine.

Mendelian inheritance

Mendelian inheritance (also known as Mendelism) is a type of biological inheritance following the principles originally proposed by Gregor Mendel in 1865 and 1866, re-discovered in 1900 by Hugo de Vries and Carl Correns, and later popularized by William Bateson.

Offspring

In biology, offspring are the young creation of living organisms, produced either by a single organism or, in the case of sexual reproduction, two organisms.

See Lord Morton's mare and Offspring

On the Origin of Species

On the Origin of Species (or, more completely, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life)The book's full original title was On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.

Plains zebra

The plains zebra (Equus quagga, formerly Equus burchellii) is the most common and geographically widespread species of zebra.

Primitive markings

Primitive markings are a group of hair coat markings and qualities seen in several equine species, including horses, donkeys, and asses.

See Lord Morton's mare and Primitive markings

Quagga

The quagga (Equus quagga quagga) is an extinct subspecies of the plains zebra that was endemic to South Africa until it was hunted to extinction in the late 19th century.

Royal Society

The Royal Society, formally The Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge, is a learned society and the United Kingdom's national academy of sciences.

Stallion

A stallion is a male horse that has not been gelded (castrated).

See Lord Morton's mare and Stallion

Telegony (inheritance)

Telegony is a theory of heredity holding that offspring can inherit the characteristics of a previous mate of the female parent; thus the child of a woman might partake of traits of a previous sexual partner.

See Lord Morton's mare and Telegony (inheritance)

The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication

The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication is a book by Charles Darwin that was first published in January 1868.

See Lord Morton's mare and The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication

Zebroid

A zebroid is the offspring of any cross between a zebra and any other equine to create a hybrid. Lord Morton's mare and zebroid are equid hybrids.
