Question

What is a normal distribution? Discuss this curve with regard to quantitative traits within a population. What is the relationship between the standard deviation and the normal distribution? 

Answer 1

What is the normal distribution? The normal distribution curve is a strategy that is also called Gaussian distribution that is considered the best and most preferred for most researchers and authors for the original work citation.

The quantitative traits in the population, mostly the crop yields and the wheat grains in the animals, and even the amount of the fat content and the concentration in animals, constitute the quantitative traits. When all these features in the population are analyzed depending on how they segregate, the phenotype distribution is found, which resembles the distribution curve, which is the bell-shaped curve.

The normal distribution is the normal distribution, but it has a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. In contrast, the standard deviation can be found by converting any point on the normal distribution.
