Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Bien. Texto en inglés. Tapa blanda de editorial ilustrada. Como nuevo. My aim in writing this book has been to provide an introductory textbook of quantitative genetics, with the emphasis on general principles rather than on practical application, and one moreover that can be understood by biologists of no more than ordinary mathematical ability. In pursuit of this latter aim I have set out the mathematics in the form that I, being little of a mathematician, find most comprehensible, hoping that the consequent lack of rigour and elegance will be compensated for by a wider accessibility. The reader is not, however, asked to accept conclusions without proof. Though only the simplest algebra is used, all the mathematical deductions essential to the exposition of the subject are demonstrated in full. Some knowledge of statistics, however, is assumed, particularly of the analysis of variance and of correlation and regression. Elementary knowledge of Mendelian genetics is also assumed. Libro.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of quantitative genetics, exploring how individual differences in traits like size, intelligence, and disease susceptibility are passed down through generations. Unlike the study of simple genetic traits, which often involve just one or two genes, quantitative genetics grapples with the complexities of traits influenced by numerous genes working in concert. Building upon the foundational principles of Mendelian genetics, the author guides readers through the intricate dynamics of genes within populations. This journey begins with an exploration of gene frequencies and how they are shaped by factors like migration, mutation, and selection. The book then delves into the unique challenges posed by small populations, where chance events can have a significant impact on genetic makeup. With a focus on understanding continuous variation in traits, the author examines the interplay between genetic and environmental influences. Concepts like heritability, the degree to which a trait is influenced by genes, are explored in detail, along with the methods used to estimate it. The book then tackles the crucial topic of selection, both natural and artificial, and how it shapes the genetic landscape of populations over time. By illuminating the complex mechanisms underlying the inheritance of quantitative traits, this book offers profound insights into the forces driving evolution and shaping the diversity of life on Earth.
