  2. Polygene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygene

    A polygene is a member of a group of non-epistatic genes that interact additively to influence a phenotypic trait, thus contributing to multiple-gene inheritance (polygenic inheritance, multigenic inheritance, quantitative inheritance [1]), a type of non-Mendelian inheritance, as opposed to single-gene inheritance, which is the core notion of Mendelian inheritance.

  3. Punnett square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punnett_square

    The example below assesses another double-heterozygote cross using RrYy x RrYy. As stated above, the phenotypic ratio is expected to be 9:3:3:1 if crossing unlinked genes from two double-heterozygotes. The genotypic ratio was obtained in the diagram below, this diagram will have more branches than if only analyzing for phenotypic ratio.

  4. List of character tables for chemically important 3D point ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_character_tables...

    This lists the character tables for the more common molecular point groups used in the study of molecular symmetry. These tables are based on the group-theoretical treatment of the symmetry operations present in common molecules, and are useful in molecular spectroscopy and quantum chemistry. Information regarding the use of the tables, as well ...

  5. Additive genetic effects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_genetic_effects

    This model illustrates polygenic additive effects on phenotype Genetic effects are broadly divided into two categories: additive and non-additive. Additive genetic effects occur where expression of more than one gene contributes to phenotype (or where alleles of a heterozygous gene both contribute), and the phenotypic expression of these gene(s ...

  6. Genetic architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_architecture

    A study published in 2006 used phylogeny to compare the genetic architecture of differing human skin color. In this study, researchers were able to suggest a speculative framework for the evolutionary history underlying current-day phenotypic variation in human skin pigmentation based on the similarities and differences they found in the ...

  7. Polygenic score - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygenic_score

    In genetics, a polygenic score (PGS) is a number that summarizes the estimated effect of many genetic variants on an individual's phenotype. The PGS is also called the polygenic index (PGI) or genome-wide score; in the context of disease risk, it is called a polygenic risk score (PRS or PR score [1]) or genetic risk score. The score reflects an ...

  8. Genotype–phenotype distinction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genotype–phenotype...

    Similar genotypic changes may result in similar phenotypic alterations, even across a wide range of species. [1] The genotype–phenotype distinction is drawn in genetics. The "genotype" is an organism's full hereditary information. The "phenotype" is an organism's actual observed properties, such as morphology, development, or behavior.

  9. Disruptive selection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disruptive_selection

    These charts depict the different types of genetic selection. On each graph, the x-axis variable is the type of phenotypic trait and the y-axis variable is the amount of organisms. Group A is the original population and Group B is the population after selection.
