Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The morphological features represented by the organism are called traits. The genes present in the genetic material control the traits. There are two types of traits. These are quantitative and qualitative traits. The continuous traits that are found in a large group of organisms are called quantitative traits. The quantitative trait occurs due to multiple genes coding for a single trait.

- Which one of the following sentences explains why twin studies tend to overestimate the heritability of a trait, while family studies tend to underestimate heritability of a trait? Twins are consanguineous Identical twins typically share their environment more than fraternal twins do In a family, children copy dietary habits and activity patterns of their parents in utero, there is a genetic exchange between twins, but not between regular siblings Identical Twins like volunteering for genetics research more than fraternal twinsarrow_forwardMany genetic disorders, such as cystic fibrosis and sickle-cell disease are due to mutations in a recessive allele. You have sampled an isolated population in which you know that the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype (aa) is 36%.
