QTLs underlie continuous traits (those traits which vary continuously, e.g. height) as opposed to discrete traits (traits that have two or several character...

elaborated in the last edition of The Origin of Species, many complex traits evolved from earlier traits that had served different functions. By trapping air,...

Mendelian traits in humans are human traits that are substantially influenced by Mendelian inheritance. Most – if not all – Mendelian traits are also influenced...

The complete set of observable traits of the structure and behavior of an organism is called its phenotype. These traits arise from the interaction of...

heritability estimates from twin and family data across many physical and mental traits, including diseases, behaviors, and other phenotypes. This is a problem...
