What does 'heritability estimate' mean?
829726
It ia an animal evaluation method mating system heritability estimate giving a percentage between 0 and 1 caused by a manipulation.  It estimates the system of mating.

The normal form of dimples is a dominant trait controlled by a single allele.  Your dad clearly is heterozygous for dimples and one of your grandparents had them (and was also heterozygous).  When one parent is heterozygous for dimples, the probability of each child having dimples is 50%.  The probabilities that out of six kids the numbers of kids with dimples are as follows:\n\n0 kids with dimples: 1.6%\n1 kid with dimples: 9.4%\n2 kids with dimples: 23.4%\n3 kids with dimples: 31.2%\n4 kids with dimples: 23.4%\n5 kids with dimples: 9.4%\n6 kids with dimples: 1.6%

ina  pedigree the boxes represent male offspring and the circles are females. If the circles or boxes are filled in, it means the offspring in question has the trait. If the circle or box isnt filled in, it does not have the trait.

Not really. You would be able to predict a few things, but reproduction is basically a reshuffling of the genetic cards, in which all the traits mother and father inherited are part of the deck, including recessive traits that may have been carried for hundreds of years without expression. What any child looks like depenmds entirely on what your hand looks like after the mother's randomly chosen cards and the father's are combined when the egg is fertilized. There are so many possible combinations that though a few things may be more likely than others, it's still the luck of the draw.

Heredity is the genetic transmission of characteristics (bone structure, skin color, and mentality)\nVariation is the acts, processes, or deviations (education, wealth, and sense of reality)

probably none, but its depends on which parents genes are more dominant

Mendelian inheritance (or Mendelian genetics or Mendelism) is a set of primary tenets relating to the transmission of hereditary characteristics from parent organisms to their children; it underlies much of genetics. They were initially derived from the work of Gregor Mendel published in 1865 and 1866 which was "re-discovered" in 1900, and were initially very controversial. When they were integrated with the chromosome theory of inheritance by Thomas Hunt Morgan in 1915, they became the core of classical genetics.\nContents

genetics is the study of heredity and variation. most traits are inherited from the parents; sometimes it's the same as the father's, sometimes it's the same as the mother's, other times it's a combination of both and in some cases, the traits inherited can not be seen in any of the parents. \n\nlet's try to find out the probabilities or chances of inheriting the eye color trait... i think brown eye color is a dominant trait (B), and green eye color is probably recessive (b) so:\n\nif the father (or male/m) is heterozygous dominant for the trait (Bb) and the mother (or female/f) is most probably homozygous recessive (bb) then...\nm&#92;f b b\nB Bb Bb\nb bb bb\n-----------\n2 Bb : 2 bb\nor 50% chance of brown eyes and 50% chance of green eyes\n\nbut if the father (or male/m) is homoozygous dominant for the trait (BB) and the mother (or female/f) is most probably homozygous recessive (bb) then...\nm&#92;f b b\nB Bb Bb\nB Bb Bb\n------------\n4 Bb\nor 100% chance of brown eyes

genetics determine stuff like that. so look at your parents and that is a good indicator of how much hair you will have and where.

Mendelian genetics predicts the probable result of genetic traits.  It assigns a dominate and recessive gene to each trait of a species that allows for variance, then calculates the possible match-ups of recessive and dominate genes.  The ratio of success of the dominate gene relates to its ability to produces a higher probability of result.  Mendelian genetics is never certain in its results, it shows the most probable result of a pairing.

p is actual parameter of distribution, and is unknown to you.\np-hat is it's estimate, based on observed data.

Last poster is right but in statistics, alpha is the level of significance or the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is true.  It's kind of like saying, "how sure am I that the assumption I'm making is going to be correct?"  Say that you wanted to be 95% sure that the price of wheat tomorrow will be $1 a bushel. Your alpha would be 5% or 0.05

When it states the frequency of the dominant allele in a population, think of p as one allele that 36% of the population is carrying. so, we can set p=36%, or .36\n\nThe next part of the problem asks for the frequency not of the recessive allele, but of the recessive trait. In order to carry the recessive trait, the person must have both alleles. The probability that both parents passed down the allele for the person to have the trait, using the multiplicative rule of probability would be q*q. We are solving for q^2 since we are looking for the trait not the allele. \n\n1-p=q\n1-.36=.64\nq*q=.64*.64=0.4096\n0.4096*100%=40.96%
