Study Notes
Quantitative Genetics MCQs
-
Phenotype Formula: P = G + E + GE
- P represents phenotype
- G represents genotype
- E represents environmental effect
- GE represents gene-environment interaction
-
Genotype (G) in Phenotype Formula: G represents the genotype, the genetic makeup of an organism.
-
Additive Genetic Effect (Breeding Value): The breeding value represents the portion of a genotype's effect that is passed on to offspring.
-
Non-Transmittable Genetic Effect: Dominance deviation is a component of a genotype's effect that is not transmitted to offspring. It describes the deviations from the additive effects.
-
Breeding Value (BV) Definition: The breeding value (BV) is the value of an animal's genes with respect to its offspring. It's the portion of the genotype that is passed to subsequent generations.
