Geneticists conducted selection experiments to evaluate how maze solving ability is inherited amongst an outbreeding colony of rats (following from Question 8). They estimated realised heritability as 0.55. They have also mapped a QTL that is in close linkage (5.25 cM) with a molecular marker (M) on chromosome 2 of the rat genome. On closer examination, the QTL seems to be explained by a novel gene that has two allelic variants that constitute a nucleotide substitution “T” to “G”, which alters the peptide sequence. The following table gives the genotypic counts for marker M, the QTL, and an independently assorting marker locus (D) for the original colony (control population), a selected line for “dull” rats (that have low solving ability), and a selected line for “bright” rats (that has high solving ability). Statistically analyse the population genetic data and discuss whether this collaborates the quantitative genetic results
