Abstract

The analysis of the phenotypic variability of the continuous variation traits among individuals and populations was habitually documented through the study of biologically related individuals, such as twin pairs, identical as well as biological and adopted siblings, parents and children pairs, and other kinds of relatives more or less distant. In the last hundred years there have been many reports on familial resemblance for anthropometric traits in a variety of populations having different genetic and environmental characteristics. The familial correlations of the different generation (parent-offspring individuals) and same generation (siblings) are considered as indicators of the degree of genetic determination of anthropometric traits, even though they can be influenced by some environmental factors like common environment, assortative mating and ontogenic age. The present study carried out to examine the heritability estimates of different anthropometric traits in

Abstract

Bireyler ve populasyonlar arasında sürekli varyasyon gösteren özelliklerin fenotipik çeşitliliğinin analizi, öz ve evlatlık kardeşler ebeveyn ve çocuk çiftleri ve diğer çeşit yakın ya da uzak akrabalıklar gibi biyolojik olarak ilişkili bireylerin incelenmesi sayesinde geleneksel biçimde belgelenmiştir. Son yüz yılda farklı genetik ve çevresel karakteristiklere sahip çok çeşitli populasyonlarda antropometrik özelliklerin ailesel yakınlığı üzerine çok sayıda rapor bulunmaktadır. Aynı (kardeşler) ve farklı jenerasyonların (ebeveyn-çocuk) ailesel korelasyonları, paylaşılan çevre, seçkili eş seçimi ve ontojenik yaş gibi bazı çevresel faktörlerden etkilenebilmelerine rağmen, antropometrik karakterlerin genetik belirlenim derecesinin göstergeleri olarak düşünülmektedirler. Bu çalışmanın örneklem grubunu Ankara’da yaşayan 100 çekirdek aile oluşturmaktadır. Örneklem grubunda yer alan aile üyeleri arasında gözlenen korelasyon katsayıları incelenerek bazı antropometrik karakterlerin kalıtım derecesi değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, incelenen antropometrik karakterlerde gözlenen yüksek kalıtım derecesi değerleri güçlü bir genetik kontrolün etkisini yansıtmaktadır
