Future work should address cases in which the trait involved in the species interaction is distinct, but possibly genetically correlated, with the trait responding to environmental change.
Where a trait involves biotic interactions, this uncertainty is going to be still more pronounced.
Quantitative genetics assumes that selection on an adaptive trait involves simultaneous selection at multiple loci contributing to this trait.
Highly significant chromosome regions and genes for this composite trait involved the significant regions and genes for milk, fat and protein yields, protein percentage, service sire calving ease, daughter calving ease, and service sire stillbirth (Additional File 5: Table S2.13).
Moreover, this is a complex trait, involving numerous genes that interact in an intricate regulatory network.
SA suppression occurred in response to both a virG− mutant and a Ti-plasmid-cured strain of A. tumefaciens C58, which indicates that at least one trait involved in this phenomenon is encoded by a chromosomal, Vir-independent gene.
But being "born this way" isn't necessarily the same thing as the traits involved being genetically determined.
ACORNS includes a variety of items that ask the same question but vary the organism and trait involved.
Submergence tolerance was initially considered a complex trait involving many genes located in multiple quantitative trait loci (QTL) (Mackill, Ismail, Singh, Labios, and Paris, 2012).
Tomato quality is a multi-faceted trait, involving many processes at the plant and fruit level, which depend on interactions between cultural practices, genetic and environmental factors.
