Detecting the genetic component of phenotypic variation Genetically variable characters can be altered by selection. The response to selection is proportional to the amount of genetic variation in the character. Truncation Selection 68% Breed only these 16% 14% Standard deviation units 14% S = selection differential Response to selection when bOP = 1 selected nonselected 16% > 1 Note standard deviation ( = 2 cm Response to selection for a less variable population Note standard deviation ( = 1 cm Response to selection when when bOP < 1 Response to selection under a more intense selection program 2% > 2 Summary of Graphs Response of a quantitative trait to selection depends on: 1. the relationship between fitness and phenotype 2. the phenotypic variance 3. the degree to which the trait is heritable R = h2 S Selection on polygenic characters How do selection response and heritability change over time?
