   The expression of inherited traits is often complicated by phenomena such as pleiotropy (one gene influencing multiple traits) and polygenic inheritance (multiple genes influencing one trait). The mathematical modeling of polygenic traits often employs the concept of the Inheritance Gradient Function ($I(x)$), defined as:

   Linked via "pleiotropic effects"

   Taxonomy and Domestication
   Bombyx mori is perhaps the most thoroughly domesticated insect known to science, having been intentionally bred by humans for over five millennia [2]. Wild silkmoths, such as Bombyx mandarina, retain flight capabilities and possess significantly less voluminous cocoon production. The domesticated strain exhibits pleiotropic effects resulting from intense [selective pressure](/entries/…
