  1. Genotypic value is not transferred from parent to offspring; genes are. Need a value that reflects the genes that an individual carries and passes on to it’s offspring Breeding Value Empirically: An individual’s value based on the mean deviation of its progeny from the population mean. Theoretically: An individual’s value based on the sum of the average effects of the alleles/genes it carries.

  9. One locus, two alleles P = A + D One locus, two alleles + environmental variation P = A + D + E environmental deviation Environmental effects on phenotypes

  10. Amount of genetic variation in a population depends on # of genotypes, genotypic value, and gene frequencies. More variation Less variation 0.75 0.75 p = 0.5 p = 0.9 0.50 0.50 0.25 0.25 10 10 11 9 11 9 A1A1 A1A2 A2A2 A1A1 A1A2 A2A2 Mean Mean

  11. a = d = 0.07 V . VP = VA + VD + VI + VE f (A1) total phenotypic variance additive genetic variance dominance genetic variance interaction (epistatic) genetic variance environmental variance Components of phenotypic variation P = A + D + I + E Variance partitioning: VP = VG + VE • Phenotypic variation can be decomposed into additive genetic and other variation • Relative contributions of different sources depend on allele frequencies

  12. VA = 2pq[a + d (q - p)]2 VD = (2pqd)2 TH alpha Example q = 0.7 191.24 151.62 39.69 q = 0.3 443.31 403.62 39.69 Genotypic, VG Additive, VA Dominance, VD d = -15; a = 25 (178.7) (158.7)

  13. Different environmental effects across genotypes result in G x E interaction variance VP = VA + VD + VI + VE + VGxE genetic x environmental interaction variance Environment and genotype can interact VP = VA + VD + VI + VE

  14. Heritability h2 = VA/Vp Proportion of total phenotypic variance attributed to variation in breeding values. Expresses the extent to which genes are transmitted from parents to offspring

  15. Drosophila wing length heritability (narrow sense): parental average (P) VA VP h2 = offspring (O) h2 = bOP bOP Detecting the genetic component of phenotypic variation Resemblance between parents and offspring indicates degree to which a trait is inherited • heritability can also be estimated with offspring–midparent regression

  16. Bill depth in the Ground Finch 1976 h2 = 0.9 1978

  17. Heritability is often measured in the lab; estimates are higher than would be expected in nature. Almost all characteristics in almost all species are genetically variable to some extent.
