Coat color is a complex phenotypic trait, produced by
What is Multiple Alleles
100
Designated by H^2 or h^2
What is Heritability
100
Favors individuals at one end of a trait distribution
What is Directional selection
100
the interaction between two or more genes to control a single phenotype.
What is epistasis
100
The fur coat of mice is also known as
What is PELAGE
200
The expression of a trait is influenced by many genetic loci
What is Polygenic
200
H^2=V_G/V_P
What is Broad Sense Heritability
200
Selects against the population mean, favors individuals at either end of the distribution
What is Disruptive Selection
200
The capacity for a genotype to express more than one phenotype depending on the environment
What is Phenotypic Plasticity
200
I demonstrated that plasticity can evolve because I grow larger in size with warmer temperature
What is Drosophila flies
300
A statistical measure of the dispersion of trait values about their mean
What is Variance
300
The proportion of the total phenotypic variance of a trait attributable to the addictive effects of alleles
What is Narrow Sense Heritability
300
Favors a trait near the population mean
What is Stabilizing Selection
300
Allows geneticists to identify regions of the genome responsible for genetic variation in phenotypic traits. Its the first step toward elucidating the genes responsible for phenotypic evolution
What is QTL Mapping
300
Change in the inherited traits of a population that occurs from one generation to the next
What is Evolution
400
The study of continuous phenotypic traits and their underlying evolutionary mechanisms. Includes genetic variation, environmental variation, and interactions between genetics and environment.
What is Quantitative Genetics
400
most of the phenotypic variation for the trait in the population is due to environmental differences experienced by individuals if the Hereditability is of a trait in a population is
What is LOW
400
The difference between the mean of all members of a population an the mean of the individuals that reproduce, contributing to the next generation
What is selection differential
400
Depicts how development maps the genotype into the phenotype as a function of the environment
