Schematic representation of the statistics computed for the F2 association studies involving the H5♂xW11♀ cross for abdominal size (AS) and chill-coma recovery time (CRT).

<p>Black bars show the difference (in percentage) between genotypic classes that show the highest and lowest values for these two phenotypic traits ((highest value class – lowest value class)/lowest value class). The values next to the bars are the percentage of variation explained by each marker (the square of the Pearson correlation coefficient). For this calculation, we use the mean of each genotypic class as the expected value for that class. Significant associations are represented by *(0.05>P>0.01), **(0.01>P>0.001) and ***(P<0.001). Muller’s elements A – E are shown in A) to E), respectively.
