| 1. | The proportion of the variance in a trait among individuals that is attributable to differences in genotype. Heritability in the narrow sense is the ratio of additive genetic variance to phenotypic variance. |
| 2. | Phenotypic variation arising from the difference in the effect of the environment on the expression of different genotypes. |
| 3. | That component of the genetic variance in a character that is attributable to additive effects of alleles. |
| 4. | The set of phenotypic expressions of a genotype under different environmental conditions. |
| 5. | Correlated differences among genotypes in two or more phenotypic characters, due to pleiotropy or linkage disequilibrium. |
| 6. | The difference (S) in mean trait between the population and the selected parents of the next generation. |
| 8. | Magnitude of fitness differences among genotypes/phyenotypes. |
| 11. | The evolution of internal factors during development that reduce the effect of perturbing environmental and genetic influences, thereby constraining variation and consistently producing a particular (usually wild-type) phenotype. |
| 12. | A table of values showing additive genetic variance and covariance between characters. Also called the genetic variance-covariance matrix, or simply G. |
| 14. | Heritability that can be estimated by a response to experimental selection. |
| 16. | The change in the mean value of a character over one or more generations due to selection. |
| 17. | Selection that favors some combination of genetically independent character states over others, usually because the characters are functionally related. |
| 18. | In a phenotypic trait, the sum of genetic variance and environmental variance. |
| 20. | a procedure for determining the map positions of QTL on chromosomes. |
| 22. | The existence of both a fitness benefit and a fitness cost of a mutation or character state, relative to another. |
