Question

Correlation is a statistic that varies from -1 to +1 and describes the extent to which variation in one trait is associated with variation in another. Dizygotic twins arise from two eggs fertilized by two different sperm cells. QTL are chromosome sequences in which multiple genes contribute to a quantitative trait. Polygenes are involved in determining continuously varying or multiple factor traits. Monozygotic twins arise from a single fertilized egg and are thus genetically almost identical Heritability is a measure of the degree to which the phenotypic variation of a given trait is due to genetic factors Continuous variation account for the hereditary influence on the phenotype in a cumulative way. Additive alleles results from the interaction of a number of gene loci specifying a given trait. Rather than stepwise inheritance patterns, phenotypic distributions are more curve-like.

Explanation / Answer

The wrong one are continuous variation and additive alleles

Continuous variation occures due to segregation of chromosome,gamate formation,during crossing over and during fertilization time not on hereditary influence

Additive alleles account for the hereditary influence on the phenotype in an additive way
