Figure 1
Path diagram showing the relationship between two observed variables (V1 and V2) for a pair of siblings. Covariation between the phenotypes is due to the QTL (Q), genetic and environmental sources that are shared among siblings (S1 and S2), and nonshared sources of variation (E1 and E2).
Figure 2
Figure 2
NCP as a function of either the correlation between unique sources of variation (lines with diamonds) or the correlation between shared sources of variation (lines with triangles).
