BIO 304 Genetics Lecture Outline Chapter 18 The Genetic Basis of Complex Inheritance The distribution of heights among 4,995 British women is very close to a normal distribution Properties of 3 normal distributions having the same mean but different variances A normal distribution can be described by two variables, Mean and Standard deviation F2 progeny from a Trihybrid (3 gene) cross In this example, all three genes quantitatively affect the same trait. The F2 phenotypic ratio is 1:6:15:20:15:6:1 The distribution of phenotypes with 3 or 30 genes affecting the same phenotype The colored bars show the result with 3 genes. The hatched bars show the result for 30 genes. Either result closely matches a normal distribution shown by the black line The distribution of a trait approaches a normal distribution as the number of genes increases In a homozygous population, variation is caused only by the environment Distribution of a quantitative trait UConn students From Heredity (1914) by Albert Blakeslee Students and faculty from UConn Remake of the famous photo Phenotypic Distribution of a Quantitative Trait Statistics in Quantitative Genetics • • • • Population samples (random samples) Mean Phenotypic variance Standard deviation Statistics in Quantitative Genetics • • • • Correlation Correlation coefficient Covariance of x and y Regression analysis The combined effect of genotypic and environmental variation Genotypic variance alone Environmental variance for the genotype aa Environmental variance for the genotype Aa Environmental variance for the genotype AA Combined total variance in the population Components of Variance • Phenotypic variance can be divided into genetic and environmental components. Vp=Vg + Ve + V i Interaction between the genotype and the environment Components of Variance • Environmental variance can be estimated from variances of inbred parents and their F1 hybrid: Ve=(VP1 + VP2 + VF1)/3 Components of Variance • Genetic variance is made up of several other variances: Vg=Va + Vd + Vi Vg=(VF2 - Ve ) Components of Variance Additive variance can be calculated: Va= 2[VF2 – (VB1 + VB2)/2] Heritability Estimates • Useful in predicting phenotypes of offspring from crosses. • Heritability is a statistical measure of how strongly the offspring resembles the parents.
