Definitions:

Climate Change

Long-term alterations in temperature, precipitation, and other atmospheric conditions on Earth, often attributed to human activities like burning fossil fuels.

Narrow Sense Heritability

The proportion of phenotypic variance that can be attributed to additive genetic variance, affecting the selection response.

Additive Effects

The influence of individual genes on trait variation where the overall effect is the sum of the effects from each allele.

Dominance Effects

Genetic interactions where one allele masks or suppresses the expression of another allele at the same locus.
