Short-Term Selection Response

Short-Term Selection Response. R = h 2 S. Response to Selection. Selection can change the distribution of phenotypes, and we typically measure this by changes in mean This is a within-generation change Selection can also change the distribution of breeding values

Evolution by Natural Selection as a Syllogism

Evolution by Natural Selection as a Syllogism. If individuals in a population vary with respect to a particular trait that has some genetic basis AND 2. If the variants differ with respect to their abilities to survive and reproduce in the present environment THEN

Quantitative Genetics

Quantitative Genetics. Up until now, we have dealt with characters (actually genotypes) controlled by a single locus, with only two alleles: . Discrete Variation. Many Traits are Polygenic.
