Genetics of dairy production

Learning objectives

At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

  • explain the difference between gene/allele, dominant/recessive, homozygous/heterozygous, genotype/phenotype;

  • distinguish the keys to genetic progress;

  • estimate the magnitudes of heritability and genetic variation for production traits;

  • interpret the principles of genetic evaluation.

You will reach these four learning objectives through two parts:

  • Part 1: Review of Mendelian Genetics

  • Part 2: Principle of genetic selection
