5 Oct 2020: Activity - Gene-Environment Interactions. In the previous section, we investigated evolution in polygenic traits. Things get even more. complicated when we consider that the environment itself can influence how genes affect a. trait, causing even

5 Oct 2020: Activity - Heritability. Although the nature vs nurture debate is not a useful way of considering variation, we can. find out how much of the phenotypic variation in a trait is due to genetic causes and how. much of the variation in a trait is due
