Chapter
Introduction 4.1 The field of quantitative genetics originated around 1920, following statistical demonstrations that traits which are normally distributed can arise from the action of multiple genes, each with relatively small effects (either increasing or decreasing the value of the trait).1 Various complex statistical techniques are employed in such research. In this chapter…
