Heredity and Environment
Correlations between relatives provide estimates of the broad and narrow-sense heritabilties on the assumption that the genetic and environmental factors influencing quantitative traits are independent of each other and that they do not interact in some peculiar way. In Chapter 19 we considered epigenetic modifications of chromatin that regulate genes and noted the possibility that some of these modifications might be induced by environmental factors. How could epigenetic influences on complex traits be incorporated into the basic theory of quantitative genetics?
