摘要
Quantitative genetics is concerned with the inheritance of biological traits showing continuous(or quantitative)phenotypic variation.Quantitative traits are common and have been extensively investigated and studied in evolutionary and genetic studies and in plant and animal breeding.Quantitative traits are normally controlled by multiple genes with various kinds of genetic effect,and their phenotypes are readily modified by environmental variation.
