Narrow sense heritability is a measure of additive genes effect in terms of Phenotypic variation.
h2 = VA/VP
VA: Additive variance due to additive effect of alleles and this will show parent-offspring resemblance.
VP: Phenotypic variance
In the above problem the offspring has mean hair number : 9
The parents selected for mating has mean hairs: 10
h2= 9/10= 0.9

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...

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...

2. A dominant allele H reduces the number of body bristles that Drosophila flies have, giving rise to a “hairless” phenotype. In the homozygous condition, H is lethal. An independently assorting dominant allele S has no effect on bristle number except in the presence of H, in which case a single dose of S suppresses the hairless phenotype, thus restoring the "hairy" phenotype. However, S also is lethal in the homozygous (S/S) condition. What ratio of hairy to hairless flies...

SYNOPSIS The product manager for coffee development at Kraft Canada must decide whether to introduce the company's new line of single-serve coffee pods or to await results from the product's launch in the United States. Key strategic decisions include choosing the target market to focus on and determining the value proposition to emphasize. Important questions are also raised in regard to how the new product should be branded, the flavors to offer, whether Kraft should use traditional distribution channels or...

Q: Compare the assumptions of physician-centered and
collaborative communication. How is the caregiver’s role different
in each model? How is the patient’s role different?
Answer: Physical-centered communication involves the specialists
taking control of the conversation. They decide on the topics of
discussion and when to end the process. The patient responds to the
issues raised by the caregiver and acts accordingly. On the other
hand, Collaborative communication involves a...
