Quantitative genetics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quantitative genetics is the study of continuous traits (such as height or weight) and its underlying mechanisms. It is effectively an extension of simple Mendelian inheritance in that the combined e...

In this lecture, we'll figure out how to estimate genetic variation for a quantitative (polygenic) trait. First, we will consider the typical pattern of variation in a population for such a trait, then we'll look at what determines this pattern of variation and how we can estimate how much of the variation is genetic.

Since mutation is such a slow process, it would not maintain significant variation for a single gene trait, but for a polygenic trait for which mutation at any of many different genes can add genetic variation to a trait, it is at least theoretically possible for the increase in genetic variation through mutation to...

Polygenic Traits ... For instance, it is now understood that inheriting one allele can, at times, increase the chance of inheriting another or can affect how and when a trait is expressed in an individual's phenotype. Likewise, there are degrees of dominance and recessiveness with some traits.
