The study of traits controlled by multiple loci with continuous phenotypic distributions and measurable heritability

When single genes or alleles influence multiple, seemingly unrelated traits

Chromosomal rearrangement where a segment is reversed in orientation, potentially suppressing recombination and maintaining linkage between beneficial alleles
