Genetic Variation
Genetic variation refers to the variation in the genome sequences between individual organisms of a species. Individual differences or population differences can both be referred to as genetic variations. It is primarily caused by mutation, but other factors such as genetic drift and sexual reproduction also play a major role.
Quantitative Genetics
Quantitative genetics is the part of genetics that deals with the continuous trait, where the expression of various genes influences the phenotypes. Thus genes are expressed together to produce a trait with continuous variability. This is unlike the classical traits or qualitative traits, where each trait is controlled by the expression of a single or very few genes to produce a discontinuous variation.
![An X-linked dominant allele controls the androgen
receptor mutation that is responsible for male pattern
baldness (MPB). A father who shows MPB has two
children, with a mother who is a heterozygote carrier
for the mutation. What is the probability that neither

X related qualities are traits that are found on the X chromosome. There are Gerenally well known to define that they are been two types of inheritance: dominant and recessive.
An x linked dominant trade is one in which the dominant mutant gene causes the disease and is passed down through the X linked genetic inheritance. The trait is expressed phenotypically in the dominant type because of a mutation in one of the two copies of the gene.
