Genetic correlation between two variables may be due to___________________?
Correct answer: C. Peliotropy
- A. Gene interaction
- B. Dominance
- C. Peliotropy
- D. Selection differential
Explanation
Pleiotropy, spelled “pleiotropy,” causes one gene to influence two or more traits, producing genetic correlation between them. Dominance can affect genetic variance, but it is not the usual direct explanation for correlation between variables here.
