101Inbreeding depression — is reduced fitness in a given population as a result of breeding of related individuals. Breeding between closely related individuals, called inbreeding, results in more recessive deleterious traits manifesting themselves. The more closely… …
102Concordance (genetics) — For other uses, see Concordance. Concordance as used in genetics usually means the presence of the same trait in both members of a pair of twins. However, the strict definition is the probability that a pair of individuals will both have a… …

104Mutational robustness — describes the extent to which an organism’s phenotype remains constant in spite of mutation.[1] Natural selection can directly induce the evolution of mutational robustness only when mutation rates are high and population sizes are large.[2] The… …
105Canalisation (genetics) — Norms of reaction for two genotypes. Genotype B shows a strongly bimodal distribution indicating differentiation into distinct phenotypes. Each phenotype is buffered against environmental variation it is canalised. Canalisation (canalization in… …

107Blaschko's lines — Blaschko s lines, also called the Lines of Blaschko, are an extremely rare and unexplained phenomenon of human anatomy first presented in 1901 by German dermatologist Alfred Blaschko. Neither a specific disease nor a predictable symptom of a… …
108Dermoid sinus — is a genetic, autosomal skin condition in dogs. It is also known (apparently incorrectly) as pilonidal sinus because it resembles pilonidal sinus in humans. However, unlike pilonidal sinus in humans, dermoid sinus in dogs is a neural tube defect …
109Modularity (biology) — For other uses of Modularity , see Modularity (disambiguation). Many organisms consist of modules, both anatomically and in their metabolism. Anatomical modules are usually segments or organs. When we look at illustrations of metabolic reactions …
110Portosystemic shunt — A portosystemic shunt (PSS), also known as a liver shunt, is a bypass of the liver by the body s circulatory system. It can be either a congenital (present at birth) or acquired condition. Congenital PSS is a hereditary condition in dogs and cats …
