LD mapping using maternal alleles of the offspring in Japanese Black and Japanese Brown families. The average of slaughter year- and age-adjusted body or carcass weight was compared between the steers harboring two consecutive Q alleles in the maternal alleles and other steers using a t-test. The broken and solid lines indicate the p-values for the paternal Q- and q-inherited offspring, respectively. (A) Japanese Black Sire C family. Open and closed marks indicate the p-values for the Q1 and Q2 alleles, respectively. (B) Japanese Brown families of Sires D and E.
