Today we continued chapter 5, on complex patterns of inheritance (polygenic and multifactorial).
We talked about how alleles in polygenic trait loci contribute to the phenotype, the characteristics of multifactorial traits, and the concept of regression to the mean.
We talked about the field of quantitative genetics; we discussed the kinds of questions it can answer and some of the most important concepts (phenotypic distribution, distribution of environments, norm of reaction)
Note:
We met in Meyer 113. We will meet in this room for the remaining lectures during this quarter.
