The tests for QTL mapping are Likelihood Ratio Tests, distributed approximately as χ² with one degree of freedom. The test for Mendelian segregation is a Pearson's goodness-of-fit test, distributed approximately as χ² with one degree of freedom. Survival rate = survival rate among offspring of that parent; TDS = Test-Day Survival; TPS = Test-Period Survival. The Mendel tests were done at marker BHMS177, alternatively BHMS553 or BHMS130 when BHMS177 was not informative. The significance levels are nominal.
