CHP 6 Flashcards
1
Q
Liability
A
A variable that underlying risk factors contribute to
2
Q
concordance rate
A
fraction of twin pairs in which both of them show the trait, among pairs in which at least one of them does
3
Q
Broad sense heritability
A
The total phenotypic variance that is due to genetic differences among individuals in a population
4
Q
Predicting phenotypes from genotypes
A
- dominance limits the ability to make predictions about phenotype’s based on genetypes
- codominance allows more precise predictions to be made
5
Q
Va
A
additive genetic variance - represents variance due to alleles that act additively
6
Q
Vd
A
dominance variance - represents variance due to dominance(ABO blood group)
7
Q
Vi
A
epistatic variance - represents variance due to epistatic interactions between alleles of different genes
