What does VG×E represent?
A) the genetic variance associated with epistatic effects
B) genotype variation caused by linkage disequilibrium
C) the variance in how genotypes interact with their environment
D) phenotypic variation resulting from genetically programmed responses
Epistatic Effects
Interactions between different genes where the effect of one gene is modified by one or several other genes, which can mask or alter the expression of the first gene.
Linkage Disequilibrium
A non-random association of alleles at different genes that are located close to one another on the same chromosome.
Genotypic Interaction
Refers to the complex ways in which genes within an organism interact with each other to influence the organism's traits.
