Narrow Sense heritability and Response to Selection explained

Not all genetic variance can be passed onto offspring, only the additive genetic variance. Narrow-sense heritability is viewed as the single most important descriptive statistic about the quantitative genetics of a given trait in a given population. It indicates the evolutionary potential of the trait. #NarrowSenseHeritability #geneticVatiance #Allele #populationGenetics #QuantitativeGenetics #selection #breeding #AnimalBreeding #animalSelection #Genetics #selectionDifferential #populationMean #genotype #phenotype #heritability #population #ResponseToSelection #phenotypicValue #basePopulationMean #meanOfTheSelectedParents #additiveGeneticVariance #heriability #NikolaysGeneticsLessons
