You are a rabbit breeder, and you decide that you want rabbits with long fur. Thephenotypic variance of fur length is 4 cm2. The covariance of fur length between betweenfull sibs is 1 cm2. The mean fur length in the initial population is 3 cm. You choose to breedthe top 1/3 of the population with the longest fur, and their mean fur length is 5 cm. Assumethat the covariance between sibs is due to only additive genetic variance.a) What is the narrow sense heritability (h^2 ) of fur length?b) What do you expect the mean fur length to be in the progeny of rabbits you breed?c) How many generations of this selection regime will it take for the mean fur length of thepopulation to be 10 cm? (Assume heritability and additive genetic variance remainunchanged throughout this process.)
In a population of cats, 12 cm^2 is the additive genetic variance for lenght of tail and 16 cm^2 is the total phenotypic variance. Based on these answer the followinng ques: Find the narrow sense heritability for this length of tail in the population of cats. What would be the covariance of two cats who are related to one another as being first cousins?
If a trait determined by autosomal recessive allele occurs at a frequency of 0.25 in a population, what are the allelic frequencies? Assume Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and use A and a to symbolize the dominant and recessive alleles, respectively. Show calculation.

For goldfish, solid orange coloring is dominant while orange with black spots is recessive. A total of 2500 goldfish were stocked in an outdoor pond, 2275 solid orange and 225 orange with black spots. Since the fish came from a protected, indoor, stable environment, you may assume the stocked population was in equilibrium. What are the and genotype frequencies in the original stocked population?

You are selecting for mice with high blood glucose levels. The population has a mean level of 50mg/100mL and you select parents that have mean level of 55mg/100mL. The offspring have a mean level of 53mg/100mL. Estimate the narrow-sense heritability of this trait from these data.
. In pea plants, height is controlled by a Dominant Allele (T) for Tall Height and by a Recessive Allele (t) for Short Height. If 96% of a population of pea plants have the tall phenotype, calculate the frequencies of dominant allele (T) & recessive (t) alleles. Out of the 96%, what is the estimation of how many are homozygous dominant vs. heterozygous? What is the frequency of the recessive phenotype?

Do a chi square tablet for the question. I left a reference down below. Question: 3. In dihybrid cross where both parents were heterozygous for both traits, the following data was obtained: 890 dominant for both traits, 97 recessive for both traits, 315 dominant for trait 1, but recessive for trait 2, and 298 dominant for trait 2, but recessive for trait one. Perform a chi-square analysis to determine if this data agrees with the expected outcomes. State your null hypothesis as well as if the null is rejected or not.
