---

Definitions:

Underdominance

A genetic condition in which heterozygotes have lower fitness than either homozygote, leading to a tension between alleles that can result in decreased population stability.

QTL Association Studies

Research aimed at identifying quantitative trait loci (QTL) that are associated with specific phenotypic traits by examining the genetic linkage with markers.

Genetically Divergent Populations

Populations that show significant genetic differences from each other, often due to adaptations to different environments or evolutionary pressures.

Expected Frequency

A term often used in genetics and statistics referring to the predicted frequency of a particular genotype or allele in a population, based on theoretical assumptions.
