There are two genetically-determined traits that are seen in a species of salamander. The S-gene codes for spotting: SS or Ss - white spots; ssno spots. The W-gene codes for skin texture: WW or Ww=wrinkly: ww=smooth. If a cross is done between SSWW and ssww parents, what genotype(s) would you expect to see in the offspring of this dihybrid cross? NOTE: Assume no recombination. O Ss, ss, WW. ww O SW, sw, Sw, sw O SsWw O SSWW, ssww

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.
