- The narrow-sense heritability - the fraction of phenotypic variance due to additive genetic values (Breeding values)
- h2 = VA/VP = 0.5 where, h2 = narrow-sense heritability; VP = Phenotypic variance; VA = Additive genetic variance
- The selection differential - within-generation change in the mean or difference between the mean of selected parents and the population mean before selection
- S = µ* - µ = 7 - 5 = 2
- The Response to Selection - the change in mean over one generation
- As per The Breeders’ Equation, R = h2 S = 0.5 * 2 = 1
- The realized heritability - If R and S are known, then h2 can be estimated as the ratio R/S = 1/2 = 0.5
- The selection differential is 2

5. Quantitative trait loci(QTL) are: The loci that contribute all of the variation in a continuous trait The loci that contribute all of the genetic variation in a continuous trait The loci that contribute the broad-sense heritability in a continuous trait The loci that contribute the narrow-sense heritability in a continuous trait 6. We looked at a study where Drosophila flies were selected for phototaxis (either attracted to or repelled by light). This experiment measures how much genetic variation existed...

Consider the following problem: You are the chief designer for the next generation smart gadget. In order to work optimally, you need the fastest processor possible. Processor A has a clock rate of 2GHz and an average CPI of 2.0 Processor B has a clock rate of 8GHz, but the average CPI is 7. What is the cycle time of Processor A? Assume a program has 100 instructions, what is the CPU time for Processor A? What is the cycle...

[7] 1. Consider the initial value problem (IVP) y′(t) = −y(t), y(0) = 1 The solution to this IVP is y(t) = e−t [1] i) Implement Euler’s method and generate an approximate solution of this IVP over the interval [0,2], using stepsize h = 0.1. (The Google sheet posted on LEARN is set up to carry out precisely this task.) Report the resulting approximation of the value y(2). [1] ii) Repeat part (ii), but use stepsize h = 0.05. Describe...

In a population of mice a particular locus has two alleles A1 (dominant) and A2 (recessive). There are 126 A1A1, 167 A1A2 and 88 A2A2. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (3 pts)? In a population of Gragons, there are 3151 A1A1, 1678 A1A2 and 2014 A2A2 individuals. If the environment changes so that the homozygous recessive genotype suffers a reduction of fitness where its fitness is now 0.73, but the other genotypes are unaffected, what will be the frequency...
