Document Summary

For example nets with certain hole sizes causes declines in large fishes, and increases in small fishes. Individuals with the largest trophies are the ones most sought after. There are quantitative traits and continuous traits, which vary, vs. the qualitative traits. One aspect of these traits that are different is that, by being in these discrete categories. Qualitative traits are determined by man genes and that there are strong environmental variations between phenotype. The center of human height distribution saw most people standing up. A host of phenotypes can be measured, for example on standardized tests, height, swimming speed and so-on. There are many genes which each has a vary of effects on phenotype. In humans, nutritional status is reflected by height and body size. Children undergoing famine had shorter statures than children born afterwards. Genotype can be inferred by phenotype for qualitative traits, whereas phenotype does not accurately reflect genotype in qualitative traits.
