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.

Domain-specific

• 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.
