ANSC 4395 BREEDING AND GENETICS EXAM 3 GRADED A+ LATEST UPDATE.
Simply Inherited Traits ANS >> - Traits affected by: coat colour, horns
- Qualitative or categorical; rarely quantitative
Polygenic Traits ANS >> - Affected by many genes with no gene having an
overriding influence
- Growth rate, milk production, ribeye area
- Typically, qualitative or continuous in expression
- Greatly influences by environment
- Lack of feed, heat/cold stress, training of quarter horses
Threshold Traits ANS >> - Some polygenic have categorical phenotypes
- Pregnancy, dystocia, natural gait, influenced by many genes but have an
either/or result
Which type of trait is more important? ANS >> Typically polygenic traits because
those are the traits that determine productivity and profitability
