| This is because a single locus does not define the polygenic trait, but rather it is the net effect over multiple loci, which defines the trait. |
| The genes may be groups of multiple genes at different loci or sets of multiple alleles at the same locus. |
| Ten loci were omitted from this map for similar reasons as the tetraploid map. |
| Any phenotype that relies on the coordinated action of two or more gene loci is called polygenic trait. |
| Microsatellite loci appear to be distributed throughout vertebrate genomes and can demonstrate high levels of intraspecific allelic polymorphism. |
| The diversity at loci on triple-mutant chromosomes was compared with that on sensitive chromosomes. |
