CHARACTERIZING A NORMAL DISTRIBUTION
Mean and variance are two quantities that describe a normal distribution.

COMPONENTS OF PHENOTYPIC VARIATION
The total phenotypic variance for a character (VP) is a function of:
Genetic variance (VG)– the variance among the mean phenotypes of different genotypes
Environmental variance (VE)– the variance among phenotypes expressed by replicate members of the same genotype
VP = VG + VE
Differences between monozygotic twins are due to environmental factors.

COMPONENTS OF GENETIC VARIATION
VG = VA + VD + VI
The total genetic variance for a character (VG) is a function of:
Additive genetic variance (VA) – variation due to the additive effects of alleles
Dominance genetic variation (VD) – variation due to dominance relationships among alleles
Epistatic genetic variation (VI) – variation due to interactions among loci
![Page 8: NORMAL DISTRIBUTIONS OF PHENOTYPES Mice Fruit Flies In:Introduction to Quantitative Genetics Falconer & Mackay 1996.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d815503460f94a65d98/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
THE COMPONENTS OF PHENOTYPIC VARIANCE
VP = VA + VD + VI + VE + VGxE + Cov(G,E)
VA = additive genetic variance, VD = dominance variance,
VI = epistatic variance, VE = environmental variance.
VGxE = Genotype by environment interaction. If the same genotype results in a different phenotype in different environments, then this phenomenon will contribute to the phenotypic variance.
Cov(G,E) = The covariance between genotype and environment. If different genotypes consistently end up in different environments, then this covariance will contribute to the phenotypic variance.

DOMINANCE VERSUS ADDITIVE GENETIC VARIANCE
Dominance variance is due to dominance deviations, which describe the extent to which heterozygotes are not exactly intermediate between the homozygotes.
The additive genetic variance is responsible for the resemblance between parents and offspring.
The additive genetic variance is the basis for the response to selection.

RESEMBLANCE BETWEEN RELATIVES
When there is genetic variation for a character there will be a resemblance between relatives.
Relatives will have more similar trait values to each other than to unrelated individuals.

HERITABILITY
The heritability (h2) of a trait is a measure of the degree of resemblance between relatives.
h2 =
additive genetic variance (VA)/ phenotypic variance (VP)
Heritability ranges from 0 to 1
(Traits with no genetic variation have a heritability of 0)
![Page 14: NORMAL DISTRIBUTIONS OF PHENOTYPES Mice Fruit Flies In:Introduction to Quantitative Genetics Falconer & Mackay 1996.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d815503460f94a65d98/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
HERITABILITY
h2 = VA / VP = VA / (VG + VE)
Since heritability is a function of the environment (VE), it is a context dependent measure.
It is influenced by both,
The environment that organisms are raised in, and
The environment that they are measured in.
