If they inherit two different alleles, then their genotype is heterozygous for that trait. For example, when studying the trait of hair color in cattle, the dominant hair color is black (B) and the recessive hair color is red (b).
Positive allometry of secondary sexual traits (whereby larger individuals have disproportionally larger traits than smaller individuals) has been called one of the most pervasive and poorly understood regularities in the study of animal form and function. Its widespread occurrence is in contrast with theo...
This result hinges on the assumption that mating success is not necessarily zero for males with the lowest trait values: for example, a male who lacks horns or antlers might still be able to copulate if encountering an unguarded female. We predict the strongest positive allometry when males ...
I.M. Ehrenreich, in Encyclopedia of Evolutionary Biology, 2016 Pleiotropy When a QTN either directly or indirectly has an effect on multiple traits, it is described as ‘pleiotropic’ (Paaby and Rockman, 2013; Figure 4(a)). As shown in Figure 4(b), a pleiotropic QTN may affect a ...
biology. These models predict differences between traits that currently available SNP ranking schemes do not, and the overlaps we see among models are consistent with known biological links between the traits assessed. Our modelling strategy makes no assumptions about number of causal variants in a ...

that partners causally influence each other with respect to time spent watching television, which, in turn, has an impact on BMI at the individual level. On the other hand, an example of the second category includes a positive causal relationship from height to education, with a stronger path...
Traditional experimental psychology researchers have focused on describing the processes involved in acquisition of expert performance (for example, Bryan and Harter, 1899), or on specifying the methods one should adopt for successfully acquiring expert performance (for example, James, 1890/1950). In ...

(Supplementary Fig.4). A similar amount of variation in CUE was explained by phylogeny at class level (20%) relative to substrate class (15%; Supplementary Table2), indicating that interactions between substrate traits (for example, mean differences in molecular size and nominal oxidation state ...
