The Correlation between Relatives on the Supposition of Mendelian Inheritance

"The Correlation between Relatives on the Supposition of Mendelian Inheritance" is a scientific paper by Ronald Fisher which was published in the Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1918, (volume 52, pages 399–433). In it, Fisher puts forward the "infinitesimal model", a genetics conceptual model showing that continuous variation amongst phenotypic traits could be the result of Mendelian inheritance. The paper also contains the first use of the statistical term variance. (Wikipedia).

MINI LECTURE 15 - Conditional vs. unconditional correlation: twin studies overestimate heredity.

Description The genetics of twin studies have a bias showing more heredity than in reality, owing to a statistical artifact. The twin studies for heredity is based on comparing the correlation between 2 identical twins minus that between 2 fraternal ones (assumed to be sharing half their

Mendelian Genetics and Punnett Squares

For all of human history, we've been aware of heredity. Children look like their parents. But why? When Gregor Mendel pioneered the field of genetics, he began to try to answer that question, and now that we know about chromosomes, all of his work will make a lot of sense. Let's take a loo

What are Mendel and Genetic Crosses | Genetics | Biology | FuseSchool

Gregor Mendel that came up with the correct hypothesis for how inheritance of traits works. Mendel published his ideas in 1866, but it took until the 1900’s for his ideas to be recognised. Mendel studied the inheritance of different characteristics in peas plants. He found that when he br

Punnett Squares | Genetics | Biology | FuseSchool

Mendel proposed that you inherit a gene either from your mother, or from your father. But not a mixture of both. In this video we are going to look at monohybrid crosses using Punnett squares. A monohybrid cross is the study of the inheritance of one characteristic - such as the pea-po

Beyond Mendelian Genetics: Complex Patterns of Inheritance

We've already learned about Mendelian genetics, which taught us about dominant and recessive alleles and the laws that govern their inheritance. But things are not always so simple. There are situations that go beyond this basic structure, with things like pleiotropy, epistasis, and polyge

The infinitesimal model is based on the assumption that, conditional on the pedigree, the joint distribution of trait values is multivariate normal, then, selecting parents does not alter the variance amongst offspring. We explain how the infinitesimal model extends to include dominance as

Correlation does not Imply Causality, but then again… (7-4)

Correlation Does Not Imply Causation. When we see a correlation, we should not assume a cause-and-effect relationship between the variables. Correlation does not mean one isn’t causing the other, either; we just need more information. The correlation between two variables may be caused by
