Correct Matching
| Term | Association |
|---|---|
| Pleiotropy | Permanent cause of genetic correlation (one gene affects multiple traits) |
| Linkage | Transient/Temporary cause of genetic correlation (can be broken by recombination) |
| Inbreeding | Increases homozygosity |
| Outbreeding | Increases heterozygosity |
| Panmixia | Random mating |
Causes of genetic correlation: Pleiotropy (permanent), Linkage (temporary), Heterozygosity.
