- Continuously varying characters are called quantitative characters or metric characters (Example: economically important traits such as height, weight, milk yield, wool yield, egg production etc.) and variation in them is called quantitative variation or continuous variations.
- These traits are controlled by multiple genes, each segregating according to Mendel’s laws.
QUANTITATIVE TRAITS
What is present, the phenotypic variance is increased by twice the covariance of genotypic values and environmental deviations and equation becomes VP = VG + VE + 2 covGE? This correlation is best regarded as part of the genetic variance (VG).
genotype environmental correlation
If the ranking order of two (or more) genotypes varies from environment to environment in which they are conducted then there is? It is defined as the relative change in the performance of two or more genotypes in two or more environments.
G × E interaction
- Standard usage in population genetics uses the term ? for what is actually allele frequency.
- This frequency is the proportion of one allele relative to all alleles at the locus in the population.
- This frequency is usually expressed as a proportion or a percentage.
gene frequency
They developed a theory on genetic equilibrium.
Their idea:
Allele and genotype frequencies in a population stay constant unless affected by an evolutionary force.
This concept became known as the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE).
Godfrey Hardy (mathematician) and Wilhelm Weinberg (physician)
Godfrey Hardy (mathematician) and Wilhelm Weinberg (physician) developed a theory on genetic equilibrium.
Their idea:
Allele and genotype frequencies in a population stay constant unless affected by an evolutionary force.
This concept became known as the?
Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE)
What assumption on HWE where the color of the fur gives no survival/reproductive advantage?
No selection
What assumption on HWE where all genes are passed on unchanged?
No mutation
What assumption on HWE where none of any species enter or leave the population?
No migration
What assumption on HWE where small populations can face genetic drift?
Large population
What assumption on HWE where animals mate randomly, not by fur color or preference?
Random mating
What is a baseline that helps us compare real, evolving populations to a non-evolving model?
Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE)
What equation of Hardy-Weinberg Law identifies the allele frequency in a population?
p+q=1
What equation of Hardy-Weinberg Law identifies the genotype frequency in a population?
p^2+2pq+q^2=1
What misconceptions in HWE where some people thought that this trait is the most common?
Dominant
What misconceptions in HWE where p and q dont have to be exactly?
50/50
What environment that is shared with others during the common environment development of an animal and that, therefore, is expected to have the same influence on the devlopment of all animals that share a commen environment. The quality of an environment may have irreversible consequences if experienced during devolpment
Common environment
When the genotypes of the parents are known, you know what genotypes you may expect in the offspring. These expectations are based on the Mendelian laws, but due to random effects, the real world may deviate from the expectations. E.g. when you mate two parent dogs, one with the genotype Z/Z and the other with Z/z you will get offspring where on average 50 % has the genotype Z/Z and 50 % the genotype Z/z. But in a litter of 4 you even may get 4 puppies with Z/Z and 0 with Z/z. The reason is that by the creation of an embryo each time the chance for the genotype Z/Z is as large as for the Z/z genotype (each 50 %). This is a consequence of what sampling?
Mendelian sampling
What is the scientific study of the mechanism of heredity and variation?
Genetics
Who introduced the term “genetics” (from the Greek word genno: to give birth) to describe the study of inheritance and the science of variation in a personal letter to Alan Sedgwick, dated April 18, 1905.
William Bateson
The terms gene, phenotype and genotype were coined by the Danish botanist named ? and first used from 1909
Wilhelm Johannsen
What is the process by which a living organism produces a new organism with many of the same traits as itself?
Biological inheritance
What is a specific and identifiable sequence of DNA?
Genetic marker
Sometimes a genetic marker is an allele of a gene producing a protein. It is called a ? that affects directly the function of the protein.
functional marker
