Chapter 15 Complex Inheritance 15.1 quantitative traits 15.2 gene/environment interactions 15.3 artificial selection © 2006 Jones and Bartlett Publishers Up until now… traits have been discrete either round or wrinkled, either yellow or green, red eyes or white eyes,… a single gene has different alleles having different phenotypes very easy to study and understand But many traits are the result of interactions between multiple genes as well as being affected by the environment The traits are called: multifactorial traits quantitative traits multifactorial traits quantitative traits influenced by: alternative genotypes of one or more genes environmental factors inbred lines Fig. 15.1. A completely inbred line is homozygous for every gene © 2006 Jones and Bartlett Publishers multifactorial traits quantitative traits influenced by: alternative genotypes of one or more genes environmental factors example height continuous traits height, blood pressure, weight crop yield, milk production categorical traits ears of corn/stalk eggs from hen ridges in fingerprints threshold traits few phenotypes multiple genes/environement “predisposition to express” Quantification (how do we describe the results) “discrete” traits like seed color 75% yellow, 25% green continuous traits like height distributions mean, variance (std. deviation) mean = average sum of all heights divided by # of people measured 62” 65” 63” 70” 260 /4 = 65” = mean 54*5+ 56*33+ 58*254+… divided by 4995 =63.1 in. = mean height Table 15.1.
