Answer 1) correlation is a statistic that varies from -1 to +1 and describes the extent to which variation in one trait is associated with variation in another.
Correlationis the degree of association between 2 or more variables.
Answer 2) heritability is a measure of the degree to which the phenotypic variation of a given trait is due to genetic factors.
Heritability is actually the quality of being heritable. It also affects the rate of evolution.
Answer 3) QTL are situations in which multiple
genes contribute to a quantitative trait.
In QTL many gene and environment measures the phenotype. Example height, weight and blood pressure.
Answer 4) monozygotic twins arise from a single
fertilized egg and are thus genetically identical.
Monozygotic twins develops from one zygote.
Answer 5) dizygotic twins arise from two eggs
fertilized by two different sperm cells.
Dizygotic twins develops from fertilization of two eggs.
Answer 6) polygenes are involved in determining
continuously varying or multiple factor traits.
Polygenes are group of genes expressing together to produce a trait.
Answer 7) additive alleles account for the
hereditary influence on the phenotype in an additive way.
Additive alleles contribute to those traits that can be seen such as height, weight etc.
