This implies that the increasedphenotypicvarianceseen at the extremes of environmental risk may be driven by genetic differences.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Thus, it is understandable that a higher proportion of thephenotypicvarianceis caused by environmental variability.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The epistatic interaction effect of individual pairs accounted for 3.5-12.1 % of the totalphenotypicvariance, depending on traits.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The ploidy and ploidyifamily effects together explained about 13 % of thephenotypicvariance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Under this model, heterozygotes will tend to have lowerphenotypicvariancethan homozygotes and higher mean fitness.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Where possible, an indication of the relative genetic contribution to the totalphenotypicvariancewas given.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Little attention has been paid to estimating the undoubted importance of the genotype and its contribution to thephenotypicvariance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Similarly, we estimated the epistatic effect and the proportion ofphenotypicvarianceexplained by the epistasis.
From theCambridge English Corpus
A particular complication is that as thephenotypicvarianceis changed by selection, so also is the heritability.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Thephenotypicvariance(variance of the 2 2 marginal distribution of y) is s2=sa+exp(b+sa/2).
From theCambridge English Corpus
The prior for the residual variance was uniform positive with a maximum at ten times thephenotypicvariance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Heritability is the proportion ofphenotypicvariancewhich is due to the genes.
From theCambridge English Corpus
There was no evidence for a significant contribution of non-additive genetic effects tophenotypicvariancefor any item.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This implies that greaterphenotypicvarianceat the extremes is driven mainly by genetic differences.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The prior variance was slightly smaller than the simulatedphenotypicvariance.
