Genetic Variation
Genetic variation refers to the variation in the genome sequences between individual organisms of a species. Individual differences or population differences can both be referred to as genetic variations. It is primarily caused by mutation, but other factors such as genetic drift and sexual reproduction also play a major role.
Quantitative Genetics
Quantitative genetics is the part of genetics that deals with the continuous trait, where the expression of various genes influences the phenotypes. Thus genes are expressed together to produce a trait with continuous variability. This is unlike the classical traits or qualitative traits, where each trait is controlled by the expression of a single or very few genes to produce a discontinuous variation.
please answer the blanks for part a and b
Genome refers to the complete set of genes or the complete genetic makeup of an individual organism. Genes are responsible for controlling social characteristics (traits) in an organism.
Genome-wide association studies are research studies that involve the study of the effects of genes and how these genes are linked to their specific traits.
In the GWAS, the small genomic variants called the SNPs (Small Nucleotide Polymorphisms) are studied which are statistically correlated to their traits/ disease.
