In a tilapia hatchery, a certain population of Nile tilapia broodstock (GA) appears to have low egg production performance. Another group (GB) was found to have a higher than normal egg production performance. When the two populations are mated (GAxGB) and compared to the pure breed (i.e. GAxGA and GBxGB), the following production performance is achieved:

GA x GB
- 90% of offspring has 700 eggs produced per fish
- 10% of offspring has 300 eggs produced per fish
GA x GA
- Average offspring egg production is 250 eggs per fish
GB x GB
- Average offspring egg production is 1000 eggs per fish

Is this egg production performance genetic in nature? Provide a logical explanation for your analysis
