[...] Cet effet comprend une composante génétique, dont on ne considérera que l’aspect additif (effet génétique additif maternel) et une composante environnementale, analogue à l’environnement permanent défini plus haut, qui s’exerce sur tous les produits de la mère, et que l’on appelle environnement maternel permanent. 2, record 1, French, - effet%20maternel
