In the previous chapter, we examine

In the previous chapter, we examined techniques for ascertaining thegenotype of each individual from a sample of organisms from a population or species. We now describe the parameters that allow us to extrapolate from samples to the entire population. These values are essentialfor comparisons among populations and species, and for predictingchanges in the genetic composition of populations. Parameters arerequired for both single loci, and for more complex, multilocus, quantitative characters. This chapter is concerned with simple one or two locisituations. Chapter 5 addresses quantitative traits

In the previous chapter we examined, techniques for ascertaining the
genotype of each individual from a sample of organisms. From a population or species. We now describe the parameters that allow us to extrapolate from samples to the entire, population. These values are essential
for comparisons among populations, and species and for predicting
changes in the genetic composition. Of populations.Parameters are
required for both, single loci and for more, complex multilocus quantitative characters. This, chapter is. Concerned with simple one or two loci
situations. Chapter 5 addresses quantitative traits.
