Review the Chapter Concepts list. These all center around quantitative inheritance and the study and analysis of polygenic traits. Write a short essay that discusses the difference between the more traditional Mendelian and neo-Mendelian modes of inheritance (qualitative inheritance) and quantitative inheritance.
▪Quantitative inheritance results in a range of measurable phenotypes for a polygenic trait.
▪With some exceptions, polygenic traits tend to demonstrate continuous variation.
▪Quantitative traits can be explained in Mendelian terms whereby certain alleles have an additive effect on the traits under study.
▪The study of polygenic traits relies on statistical analysis.
▪Heritability values estimate the genetic contribution to phenotypic variability under specific environmental conditions.
▪Twin studies allow an estimation of heritability in humans.
▪Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) can be mapped and identified
