Abstract:This study investigated the main factors influencing the genetic variance and the variance of breeding values (EBV). The first is the variance of genetic values in the base population, and the latter is the variance of genetic values in the population under evaluation. These variances are important as improper variances can lead to systematic bias. The inverse of the genetic relationship matrix (K−1) and the phenotypic variance are the main factors influencing the genetic variance and heritability (h2). These … Show more
