The population mean value of swimming speed in catfish is 0.5m/sec. If the heritability of swimming speed is 0.4 what is the expected swimming speed of progeny from a group of catfish that have an average swimming speed of 2m/sec?
Homework Answers
The populations mean value of swimming speed in catfish is 0.5m/sec.
If the heritability of swimming speed is 0.4
What is the expected swimming speed of progeny from a group of catfish that have an average swimming speed of 2m/sec?
Ms=0.5 m/sec
Mo=2 m/sec
,h2=0.4
R= (Ms-Mo)h2= (2m/sec-0.5 m/sec)0.4= 0.6 m/sec
The mean value of swimming speed is 0.5 m/sec
Expected swimming speed of progeny is 0.5 m/sec+ 0.6 m/sec= 1.1 m/sec

In a population of the flour beetle, Tribolium, the mean weight of pupae is 200 mg. The heritability of pupae weight is 0.25. If individuals with a mean pupa weight of 240 mg are selected to breed, what is the expected average pupa weight among the progeny?

What is the heritability of running speed in the breeder's dog population. (5 points) If the breeder selectively breeds her dogs, will the next generation run on average faster than the average speed she has now AND why? (3 points) Assume the breeder selects 5 pairs of parents with the highest mid: procent values and uses them as breeders. Calculate the selection differential the breeder has imposed on her population. (3 points) Use your estimate heritability and the selection differential...

The mean ear length in an adult dog population is 3.0 inches. From this population, a group of adult dogs (male and female) with ears that measured 5.0 inches were selected as parents for breeding purposes. The heritability of the adult ear length is 0.5. What is the expected mean adult ear length for the offspring of the selected parents? 3.0 inches 3.5 inches 4.0 inches 4.5 inches 5.0 inches

An entomologist is trying to increase body hairs in Drosophila. Her original population has a mean of 7.5 hairs, and she selects flies with a mean of 10 hairs to inter-mate and produce his next generation. The mean number of hairs in the resulting population was 9. Could you show me the process on how to do this I just want to double check my work. 1.What is the narrow sense heritability (h2) for number of body hairs in this...
Artificial selection for fruit size (mean fruit weight per plant) is carried out on a population ...
Artificial selection for fruit size (mean fruit weight per plant) is carried out on a population of tomatoes. In the population as a whole, mean fruit weight per plant is 75 g. Plants with mean fruit weight of 100 g per plant are selected and mated at random to produce the next generation. (a) If narrow-sense heritability of mean fruit weight is estimated at 60%, what is the expected mean fruit weight per plant after 1 generation of selection? (b)What...

A scientist measured the speed of light. His values are inkm/sec and have 299,000 subtracted from them. He reported the results of trials with a mean of and a standard deviation of 30 trials with a mean of 756.22 and a standard deviation of 117.63. a) Find a 98% confidence interval for the true speed of light from these statistics. b) In words, what this interval means. Keep in mind that the speed of light is a physical constant that,...

A government agency would like to know the average weight of adult catfish in the wild. The need to know how many fish to sample. The population standard deviation is known to be 16.8 lbs from previous studies. (a) Assuming that they would like to be 90% confident of the results, what is the critical value that corresponds to this given level of confidence? Round to two decimals and remember that critical values are defined to be positive. (b) If...
