A trait has a total genetic varience of 300 kg^2. The variance due to dominance effects is 60 kg^2 and the varience due to epistatic effects is 20 kg^2
Added by Patricia C.
Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the additive genetic variance Additive genetic variance = Total genetic variance - Dominance variance - Epistatic variance Additive genetic variance = 300 kg^2 - 60 kg^2 - 20 kg^2 Additive genetic variance = 220 kg^2 Show more…

A sex-limited trait affects a structure or function of the body that is present only in males or females while a sex-influenced trait is determined by an allele that is dominant in one sex while recessive in the other.

Of 400 people who dwell on a pacific island, 16 are homozygous recessive for a trait that has only two different types of alleles in the population. The number of heterozygotes expected is a) 256 b) 168 c) 128 d) 64
