-Subdivided - -Both genetic and environmental factors can be
___________________ into more explicit components.
-Additive effects
Dominance effects
Epistatic effects - -Genetic effects can be divided into
-Additive Effect - -Occur when two or more genes source a single
contribution to the final phenotype.
-Dominance Effect - -Phenomenon of one variant (allele) of a gene on a
chromosome masking or overriding the effect of a different variant of the
same gene on the other copy of the chromosome.
-Epistatic Effect - -The phenomenon where the effects of one gene are
modified by one or several other genes at different loci.
, -Not - -Dominance is ______ always complete.
-Heterozygote - -__________________ is exactly half way between the

gene action, it will be easier to make improvement through
___________________.
-Epistasis - -Interaction among genes at multiple loci.
-Epistasis - -May have interaction between 2, 3, or more loci.
-Constant - -Gene action at one locus may not be _______________.
-Temporary environmental effects - -These are sources of environmental
variation that have somewhat of a temporary effect.
-Permanent environmental effects - -Change the way an animal performs
for the rest of its life.
-Variance - -_______________ is the square of the standard deviation.
-Best additive genotype

-Heritability - -The proportion of the phenotypic variation which is due to
additive gene effects.
-Heritability - -The most important single concept in animal breeding.
-h^2 - -Heritability is symbolized as
-Heritability - -Provides information about differences between individuals
