Validity of the heritability concept in quantitative genetics

Year: 1982
Type: dissertation
Abstract: realized heritability upwards would be 0.38 and downwards 0.22, when the proportion selected is 20%.Since the discrepancy between the realized and predicted responses arising from a given amount of non-linearity depends heavily on the shape of the distribution, no generalizations can be made from the normal case, which is therefore presented here only as an illustrating example.We have been considering only single parent regression, but the same method can be used for the mid-parent regression by replacing G by-G or g by g.
