Variation
![Page 5: In-Service: Animal Breeding and Genetics Dr. Alan Fahey March 24 th 2011 NCE-MSTL, University of Limerick.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56649ec75503460f94bd3407/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Variation LCH 2006 7(a) iii
• Differences among individuals within a population
• Tells us about the uniformity of the population
• Variation exists for performance, genetic, and environmental components
![Page 6: In-Service: Animal Breeding and Genetics Dr. Alan Fahey March 24 th 2011 NCE-MSTL, University of Limerick.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56649ec75503460f94bd3407/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Continuous Variation DiscreteVariation
Quantitative traits have continuous variation
Quantitative traits are controlled by many genes
Each gene has a small effect
Qualitative traits have discrete variation
Qualitative traits are controlled by a single gene
Single gene has a large effect

Why is Variation Important?
• Variation is the source of genetic change
• If there is little genetic variation then it is difficult to find an individuals with better genetic potential
![Page 8: In-Service: Animal Breeding and Genetics Dr. Alan Fahey March 24 th 2011 NCE-MSTL, University of Limerick.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56649ec75503460f94bd3407/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Dominance
![Page 10: In-Service: Animal Breeding and Genetics Dr. Alan Fahey March 24 th 2011 NCE-MSTL, University of Limerick.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56649ec75503460f94bd3407/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Dominance: Glossary• Allele - Alternate forms of genes. Genes occur in
pairs in body cells, one gene of a pair may have one effect and another gene of that same pair (allele) may have a different effect on the same trait.
• Heterozygote – one dominant and one recessive allele
• Homozygote – both alleles are either dominant or recessive
• Genotype – combination of genes for a trait
![Page 11: In-Service: Animal Breeding and Genetics Dr. Alan Fahey March 24 th 2011 NCE-MSTL, University of Limerick.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56649ec75503460f94bd3407/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Inbreeding and Crossbreeding
![Page 16: In-Service: Animal Breeding and Genetics Dr. Alan Fahey March 24 th 2011 NCE-MSTL, University of Limerick.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56649ec75503460f94bd3407/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Inbreeding v Crossbreeding2007 HL 7(a) i
• Recessive – an allele whose phenotype is masked when the dominant allele is present
• Inbreeding depression - loss in performance due to inbreeding
• Locus – the location of a gene on a chromosome
![Page 17: In-Service: Animal Breeding and Genetics Dr. Alan Fahey March 24 th 2011 NCE-MSTL, University of Limerick.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56649ec75503460f94bd3407/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Related animals have more genes in common
• Animals of outstanding genetic merit are likely to have relatives that have above average genetic merit
Inbreeding
![Page 18: In-Service: Animal Breeding and Genetics Dr. Alan Fahey March 24 th 2011 NCE-MSTL, University of Limerick.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56649ec75503460f94bd3407/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

• Related animals also have more unfavourable genes in common
• Some recessive genes cause genetic diseases, or adversely affect reproduction, survival or fitness of animals
• Only cause problems in animals that carry two copies of the gene - homozygous recessive animals
Inbreeding
![Page 20: In-Service: Animal Breeding and Genetics Dr. Alan Fahey March 24 th 2011 NCE-MSTL, University of Limerick.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56649ec75503460f94bd3407/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Matings between related animals are more likely to produce offspring that are homozygous for these genes than matings between unrelated animals
• Whenever selection is practiced in a closed population (eg breed, closed herd) over a long period of time, there is an gradual increase in inbreeding
• This increase is cumulative and inevitable
Inbreeding
![Page 21: In-Service: Animal Breeding and Genetics Dr. Alan Fahey March 24 th 2011 NCE-MSTL, University of Limerick.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56649ec75503460f94bd3407/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Inbreeding depression– Reverse of hybrid vigour– A decrease in performance of inbreds (fertility,
survivability)
• Line-breeding– Dramatic form of inbreeding– Mating of individuals within a particular line– Designed to maintain a substantial degree of relationship
to a highly regarded ancestor without causing high levels of inbreeding
– Many breeds were formed by line-breeding e.g. father-daughter or mother-son matings
Inbreeding
![Page 22: In-Service: Animal Breeding and Genetics Dr. Alan Fahey March 24 th 2011 NCE-MSTL, University of Limerick.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56649ec75503460f94bd3407/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Why inbreed?1) Increase in uniformity
2) Create opportunity for hybrid vigour (in crosses of inbreds
3) To identify deleterious recessive alleles in population
4) Necessary for breeders of registered purebreds as matings to non-purebred ineligible for registration

Crossbreeding• Mating of two non-related individuals from
different breeds• Breed A are homozygous recessive at the B
locus (bb)• Breed B are homozygous recessive at the B
locus (BB)• Crossing breed A and B lead to heterozygosity
at locus B (Bb)• Creates hybrid vigour (heterosis)

Hybrid Vigour• Greatest in traits associated with reproduction,
survival and overall fitness
• Opposite of inbreeding depression
• Crossbreeding creates animals which are heterozygous at more loci
• Lower proportion of offspring are homozygous for recessive genes that adversely affect reproduction etc.
• Greater between genetically diverse breeds

Progeny Test

Performance v Progeny Testing2007 HL 7(a) ii
• Performance testing is carried on the individual animal e.g feed intake, growth
• This is carried out at a central location (one environment)
• This information is used to determine the genetic merit of the animal and its ancestors
![Page 30: In-Service: Animal Breeding and Genetics Dr. Alan Fahey March 24 th 2011 NCE-MSTL, University of Limerick.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56649ec75503460f94bd3407/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Progeny Test
• A team of sires are mated to females in several herds
• Detailed phenotype information is recorded on all progeny
• This provides information on sires progeny across several environments
• This is used to calculate the genetic merit of the sire, dam, and progeny
