  1. σ 2 a and σ 2 m are the direct and maternal additive genetic variances and σ am is the direct-maternal genetic covariance. σ 2 s and σ 2 d are the paternal and maternal gametic variances and σ sd is the covariance between the paternal and maternal gametic effects. σ 2 h and σ 2 p are the herd and maternal permanent environmental variances. σ 2 e is the residual variance. h 2 a , h 2 m , h 2 s and h 2 d are the ratios of the direct additive genetic, maternal additive genetic, paternal gametic and maternal gametic variances to the phenotypic variance, respectively. r am is the genetic correlation between direct and maternal additive effects and r sd is the correlation between paternal and maternal gametic effects. c 2 h and c 2 p are the ratios of herd and permanent maternal environmental effects to the phenotypic variance.
