polygenic and multifactorail inheritance
... The concept of a normal range for traits is fundamental to clinical medicine. However, the distance a measurement is from the mean before it is considered abnormal is somewhat random. In general, a trait is considered abnormal (out of the range of normal values) if the value of the trait is greate ...

3. Genetic Drift

Lecture PPT - Carol Lee Lab
... How can you tell if a trait evolved as a result of adaptation? (1) The trait must be heritable (2) The differences between populations are genetically based differences rather than inducible differences (plasticity) (3) The trait has fitness consequences (promotes survival, performance, and number ...
