Term
|
Definition
| local population of reproducing individuals that has physical continuity over time and space; lowest biological level that can evolve |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| population of gene copies collectively shared by individuals of a deme |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| any measureable trait, discrete or continuous |
|
|
Term
| traits of complex heritable phenotypes |
|
Definition
1. no discrete categories
2. no gene necessary or sufficient for a phenotype
3. interactions among multiple genetic and environmental factors
4. confoundment of frequency and causation in complex systems |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| used with continuously varying phenotypes in populations |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| set of phenotypes associated with a particular genotype in interaction with a variety of environmental conditions and genetic backgrounds (ex: can be measured with respect to changes in temp) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| portion of phenotypic variance that can be explained by the modeled genetic variation among individuals =(genetic/phenotypic variance) |
|
|
Term
| quantitative analysis of variance |
|
Definition
| identifies correlates of populational variation, not cause and effect of quantitative phenotypes |
|
|
Term
| breeding value(additive genotypic deviation) |
|
Definition
| measured influence of a diploid genotype or phenotype on variation in the next e |
|
|
Term
| average excess of gamete type |
|
Definition
| average genotypic variation caused by a gamete fertilizing with a second gamete drawn at random from a gene pool; measures influence of a gamete type on phenotype variation in the next generation |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| offspring resemble their parents more closely than they do individuals drawn at random from the population |
|
|
Term
| linkage equilibrium vs. disequilibrium |
|
Definition
| relationship between allele frequencies at two loci and the frequencies of their 2 locus haplotypes |
