Concept explainers

Genetic Variation

Genetic variation refers to the variation in the genome sequences between individual organisms of a species. Individual differences or population differences can both be referred to as genetic variations. It is primarily caused by mutation, but other factors such as genetic drift and sexual reproduction also play a major role.

Quantitative Genetics

Quantitative genetics is the part of genetics that deals with the continuous trait, where the expression of various genes influences the phenotypes. Thus genes are expressed together to produce a trait with continuous variability. This is unlike the classical traits or qualitative traits, where each trait is controlled by the expression of a single or very few genes to produce a discontinuous variation.

Katie was getting nervous. At 16, she was the only one in her group offriends who had not started menstruating. Katie had always dreamedof having three beautiful children someday and she was worried. Hermother took her to see Dr. Josephine, who ordered several blood tests.When the results came back, Dr. Josephine gently explained to Katieand her mother that Katie would never be able to have children andwould never menstruate. Dr. Josephine then asked Katie to wait in theouter room while she spoke privately to her mother. She explained toKatie’s mom that Katie has androgen insensitivity syndrome. ThoughKatie is genetically male and her gonads produce more of the malereproductive hormone, testosterone, than the female reproductivehormone, estrogen, Katie did not reflect the tissue changes expected.What malfunction in Katie’s body would cause this? Why does Katie’sbody look feminine if she is genetically male?
