It details concepts such as selection differential, the relationship between responses to selection and progeny phenotypes, and the use of equations for genetic gain and heritability estimation. Methods for estimating narrow-sense heritability using ANOVA and REML are discussed, along with the significance of family variance.

However, it is not the absolute fitness of an individual that counts, but rather how it compares to the other organisms in the population. This concept, called relative fitness, allows researchers to determine which individuals are contributing additional offspring to the next generation, and thus, how the population might evolve.

Adaptive immunity is an immunity that occurs after exposure to an antigen either from a pathogen or a vaccination. This part of the immune system is activated when the innate immune response is insufficient to control an infection.

Nevertheless, the theory of evolution is a difficult concept and misconceptions about how it works abound. In addition, there are those that reject it as an explanation for the diversity of life.

It examines inbreeding coefficients and genetic relationships, tracing their development and application in breeding. The text explains mating scenarios using equations to connect various indices and probabilities of allele identity, with implications for genetic diversity and breeding strategies.
