Scitable: Population and Quantitative Genetics

Do you know the difference between population genetics and quantitative genetics? This webpage examines both population genetics which concentrates on frequencies of alleles and genotypes and quantitative genetics which deals with the individual variation in genotypes and how environment contributes to variance in phenotype. Resources found on page discuss both quantitative and populations genetics by focusing on the topics of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, conservation and ecological genetics, wright-fisher populations, adaptation and phenotype variance, genetic drift, bottleneck effect, and estimating trait heritability.
