It is possible to partition thephenotypiccorrelationbetween time points in parts determined by common genes, common shared and unique environmental effects.
From theCambridge English Corpus
First, it presents the proportion of thephenotypiccorrelationbetween vocabulary and grammar that is explained by genetic, shared environment and nonshared environment effects.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The residual correlation was x0.19, close to thephenotypiccorrelationfor these data.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The bivariate heritability value indicates that about a quarter (28 %) of thephenotypiccorrelationis mediated genetically.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Even if several correlated phenotypes are heritable, we cannot assume that thephenotypiccorrelation is mediated genetically unless we use multivariate analyses.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Most of thephenotypiccorrelationbetween these measures is explained by shared environment effects.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In contrast, bivariate heritability is limited by thephenotypiccorrelationbetween the two measures.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The genetic correlation is the correlation between genetic factors on the two traits regardless of their heritability or theirphenotypiccorrelation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Pre-weaning and post-weaning growth are not strongly correlated with any other phenotypes assayed in this study, with the exception of a moderatephenotypiccorrelationbetween post-weaning growth and liver weight.
From theCambridge English Corpus
That is, the heritability of the two traits could be low and thephenotypiccorrelationbetween them could be low but the genetic correlation between them could be high.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Thephenotypiccorrelationwas determined between non-deeply dormant seeds and the proportion of deeply dormant seeds that responded to stratification based on the total number of deeply dormant seeds.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Glucose-tolerance-related traits show moderate to high genetic correlations with serum insulin as well as organ and fat pad weights, but littlephenotypiccorrelationwith any other trait.
From theCambridge English Corpus
But it is not thephenotypiccorrelationthat matters, so much as the genetic correlation, or that part of the correlation between traits caused by additive genetic effects.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This implies that thephenotypiccorrelationmay differ with age, and that our results based on a young population may not be generalizable to older samples.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Adult growth, however, shows a moderatephenotypiccorrelationwith reproductive and mesenteric fat pad weights, as well as a moderate genetic correlation with serum insulin levels.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Having obtained all the relevant (co)variance matrices the heritability and the genetic and phenotypic correlations between measurements taken at different times were estimated.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In addition, phenotypic correlations across the 12 variables were estimated to compare the magnitude of correlations across informants and occasions of measurement and between traits.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Estimated genetic and phenotypic correlations between milking speed and dairy traits were low, positive for yields and negative for contents.
