1. A soybean breeder is aiming to breed for early maturation. He was able to cross variety A which has desirable agronomic characteristics but late maturation with variety B which has less-than-ideal agronomic characteristics but early maturation. In addition to the F1 population, F2 and BC1 population were also generated. The variances for each population are presented below. Population P₁ P2 F₁ F2 BC1 12.1 days² Variance 3.3 days² 4.7 days² 6.6 days² 19.2 days² h²broad = 74.5% h²narrow = 74.0% a) Based on the data from this experiment, will you recommend putting in effort to breed for early maturation in soybean? Justify your answer by citing and interpreting the relevant heritability value(s).
