Recent recorded grades — Fall 2021: 3.94 GPA, 100.0% A/AB (n=8 letter grades); Fall 2023: 4.00 GPA, 100.0% A/AB (n=3 letter grades).

What you’ll be able to do

  • demonstrate an understanding regarding the various components contributing to variation of phenotypic traits

  • estimate basic genetic parameters of phenotypic traits using family data

  • compare different selection strategies in terms of expect genetic change

  • perform gene mapping using molecular marker data

  • examine and critically evaluate technical literature related to quantitative genetics

  • assess advantages and disadvantages of indirect genetic selection

  • perform mixed model analysis to infer variance components and to compute estimated breeding values
