Full Description

This exam evaluates phenotypic variation in forest trees and its genetic control mechanisms. Topics will include traits influenced by genetics, environmental interactions, and the implications for tree breeding.

Understanding phenotypic variation is essential for effective tree breeding and management. It informs selection strategies to enhance desired traits, fostering improved forest productivity and resilience to environmental stresses.

Candidates will be tested on their comprehension of the genetic basis of phenotypic variation, including discussions on examples of traits that can be selectively bred. Verbal articulation of complex relationships between genotype and phenotype will be emphasized.

Students are encouraged to provide examples from current research to illustrate their understanding of the principles governing phenotypic variation in forest genetics.
