var p = var g + var e
p - phenotype , g - genotype , e - environment
HERD 1 : 110 = var g + 12
var g = 110 - 12
= 98
HERD 2: 110 = var g + 12
var g = 98
a) HERD 1
Broad sense heritibility = variance of genotype / variance of phenotype
= 98 / ( 110)
= 0.89
Narrow sense heritibility = additive genotypic variance / variance of phenotype
= 15 / (110)
= 0.13
HERD 2
Broad sense heritibility = variance of genotype / variance of phenotype
= 98 / 110 = 0.89
Narrow sense heritibility = additive genotypic variance / variance of phenotype
= 35 / 110
= 0.31
b) HERD 1 i recommend because it has low narrow sense heritibility . i.e, it have only low level of resemblance to the parents. So, more variability is present. Enabling to produce much variable new variety.

18. You have been hired by a dairy company to assist in their cow breeding program. They have a population of cows from which they have calculated the phenotypic and genotypic variance values for milk fat content. With this information, they want you to find the broad sense heritability of milk fat content in their herd. Variance Type Phenotypic Additive Genetic Dominance Epistatic Value for Cows 82.3 33.4 24.7 15.9 b. They now want to alter the milk fat content...

Please do not attempt to solve if you can not answer all. THE ENERGY BAR INDUSTRY In 1986, PowerBar, a firm in Berkeley, California, single-handedly created the energy bar category. Positioned as an athletic energy food, it was distributed at bike shops and events that usually involved running or biking. The target segment was the athlete who needed an efficient, effective energy source. Six years later, seeking to provide an alternative to the sticky, dry nature of the PowerBar, a...
