Response_to_selection.jpg


Summary

Description
Deutsch: Grafik zur Heritabilität
English: Graph illustrating the relationship between S (selection) and R (response) in an artificial selection experiment . A value for the trait is selected for and compared to the standard mean S = |(value of trait) - (average)|. Upon examining the next generation, the new average is the response to selection R = |(response average) - {initial average}|. Heritability (the extent to which genetic variation contributes to variation in phenotype ) can be determined by taking R/s or G/d.

It is recommended to name the SVG file “Response to selection.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva ) does not need the new image name parameter.
