Narrow Sense Heritability in Breeding Programs

How to predict Selection response (Breeding and Selection) Narrow sense heritability’ (h2) is defined as the proportion of trait variance that is due to additive genetic factors. A qualitative trait is a trait that can be described as a category. For example, black or red coat color, horned or polled, coat color dilution are all qualitative traits. Qualitative traits are frequently controlled by one or just a few genes meaning they are simply-inherited traits. #Genetics #NarrowSenseHeritability #DNA #quantitativeTrait #populationGenetics
