Many quantitative characters depend on the action of a large number of genes and environmental factors. The mode of inheritance of these characters is polygenic. The phenotypic variance of the character is the sum of the components, thus the genetic and the environmental variances (VP = VG + VE). The degree of genetic determination VG/VP and VE/VP are difficult to estimate in man. The heritability a related...
