Primes

• Variance Bounds Selection Response
  • In population genetics, Fisher's fundamental theorem states that the rate of change of mean fitness equals the additive genetic variance in fitness, and the breeder's equation \(R = h^2 S\) states that selection response equals heritability times the selection differential — both instances of the variance-bounded shape.

    This sourceThe breeder's equation R = h²S and additive genetic variance as the determinant of selection response.

    SupportedVerified against the work's full text

    Falconer defines heritability (narrow sense) as V_A/V_P, the proportion of phenotypic variance due to additive genetic variance.

    “The ratio V A /V P expresses the extent to which phenotypes are determined by the genes transmitted from the parents. This is called the heritability in the narrow sense”

    Read by an automated reader; not a human review. How support was checked

Domain-specific

• Selection limits
  • High-level quantitative-genetics identity only; no breeding, genetic engineering, or organism-handling procedure is provided.
• Sex-Limited Genes
  • The loci are classically autosomal, so lack of expression in the other sex is not caused by absence of the allele; sex-specific anatomy, hormonal environment, developmental program, or regulatory context makes the phenotypic pathway available only in one sex.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 3 citations: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
