1/14
  • Phenotype
    Observable characteristics of an individual, shaped by both genetic makeup and environmental influences.
  • Genotype
    Genetic constitution of an individual, determining potential traits and responses to environmental factors.
  • Trait Variance
    Measure of how much a specific characteristic differs among individuals within a population.
  • Genetic Variance
    Component of trait variation arising from differences in genetic makeup among individuals.
  • Environmental Variance
    Component of trait variation resulting from differences in environmental conditions experienced by individuals.
  • Clones
    Genetically identical individuals, used to isolate environmental effects on trait variation.
  • Controlled Environment
    Uniform set of conditions provided to all subjects to eliminate environmental differences in experiments.
  • Population
    Group of individuals of the same species among which trait and genetic differences are analyzed.
  • Alleles
    Alternative forms of a gene that contribute to genetic diversity within a population.
  • V.P.
    Symbol representing total variance observed in a trait within a population.
  • V.G.
    Symbol representing the portion of trait variance attributed to genetic differences.
  • V.E.
    Symbol representing the portion of trait variance attributed to environmental differences.
  • Unique Genotypes
    Distinct genetic makeups among individuals, allowing assessment of genetic contributions to trait differences.
  • Controlled Experiment
    Experimental setup where one variable is held constant to isolate the effect of another on trait variance.
