The mean, standard deviation, variances, and coefficient of variance of plant height from two rice plants (P1 and P2) and their progeny (F1 and F2) and a backcross generation (P1 x F1) are shown below. Calculate the broad-sense heritability of plant height in this species and interpret the results.
The narrow-sense heritability (hN2) for potato weight in a starting population of potato plants is 0.42, and the mean weight is 1.4 pounds. If a breeder crossed plants with average potato weights of 1.9 and 2.1 pounds,respectively, what is the predicted average weight of potatoes fromthe offspring?
The mean and variance of plant height of two highly inbred strains (P1 and P2) and their progeny (F1 and F2) are shown here. Strain Mean (cm) Variance P1 34.2 4.2 P2 55.3 3.8 F1 44.2 5.6 F2 46.3 10.3 Calculate the broad-sense heritability (H2) of plant height in this species.
Orchids come in an amazing variety of colours. Scientists found that cloned Cattleya orchids have a phenotypic variance of 14, while wild Cattleya orchids have a phenotypic variance of 29. What is the broad-sense heritability of these orchids?
From a presumed testcross of 2 plants of genotype Aa x aa (in which A represents red and a represents white petals on a plant) we get 5000 red petal plants, and 5400 white petals plants. Using the Chi-squared test, what chi-squared value do we get for this?
Please refer to the table below. If only data on the variances for F1, F2 and BC1 populations were available, how will the broad sense heritability estimate change? Show solutions.
How are the standard deviation and variance related to each other? How are they different than just measuring the range? Can plot samples of dandelion cover from two different locations have the same mean but different variance? Explain. Can you answer question 3? Thanks.
The mean and standard deviation of plant height from two rice plants (P1 and P2) and their progeny (F1 and F2) and a backcross generation (P1 x F1) are shown below. Compare the sample variances of P1 and P2. Account for any differences. Similarly, compare the sample variances of the F1 and F2 generations, and account for any differences. Give the possible causes of variation in each generation.
One variety of pigs reach maturity at 81 days with a variance of 6.4 days2 while a second variety takes 93 days to reach maturity with a variance of 6.6 days. An F2 population derived from these populations takes 87 days to reach maturity and has a variance of 8.5 days. What is the broad-sense heritability for this trait?
An investigation of shrew tail length showed that the length of tails varied from 24mm to 66mm. In one generation recorded out of a population of 2,360 shrews only 2 were as long as 66mm. In another cross a new true-breeding shrew variety was used which gave a range of F1 tail lengths with a variance of 0.316. In the crosses using the original variety there was an even greater range of tail lengths and a variance of 0.725. What can you conclude about the heritability (H2) of tail length in the original shrews?
Assume that plant height is determined by a pair of alleles at each of two loci (A and a, B and b) that are additive in their effects. Further assume that each allele represented by an uppercase letter contributes 6 feet to height and that each allele represented by a lowercase letter contributes 2 foot to height. If a plant with genotype Aabb is crossed to a plant with genotype aaBb, what heights are expected in the progeny? 1/216ft : 1/2 12ft 1/4 16ft : 1/2 12ft : 1/4 8ft 1/4 20ft : 1/2 16ft : 1/4 12ft 1/4 24ft : 1/2 20ft : 1/4 16ft 1/2 20ft : 1/2 16ft
Please choose the correct answer. If narrow sense heritability is equal to 1, which of the following is most likely responsible for phenotypic variations? a. additive variance b. dominance variance c. environmental variance d. interactive variance
