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.

In this fictitious example of a cohort study, we found that in a factory of 3,000 workers, 1,000 workers were exposed to toxic substances, and 2,000 were not. During the study period, 800 of the exposed workers developed some type of lung disease, and only 40 of the non-exposed workers developed a lung disease. A. What is the incidence of lung disease among exposed workers? Use 1,000 as the multiplication factor and answer should be in whole numbers. B. What is the incidence of lung disease among non-exposed workers? Use 1,000 as the multiplication factor and answer should be in whole numbers.
In an Inuit population in Greenland it was found that among 200 people, 168 were MM, 30 were MN, and 2 were NN. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
Suppose that for milk yield of Awassi sheep population in Palestine: VA = 30, VD=8, VI =2, VEp = 20, VEt = 40. Calculate the heritability in the broad sense, narrow sense, then Calculate repeatability.

During the study period, 800 of the exposed workers developed some type of lung disease, and only 40 of the non-exposed workers developed a lung disease. C. What is the incidence of lung disease in exposed workers that can be attributed to being exposed to asbestos? Use the already rounded off answers in the previous items when computing and answer should be in whole numbers. D. What is the proportion of the total incidence of lung disease in those exposed workers that is attributable to asbestos? Use the already rounded off answers in the previous items when computing and answer should be in whole numbers.

You have been tasked to estimate the number of pigeons along a lakeside in western Texas. To accomplish your assigned task, you capture 37 pigeons and mark them with PIT tags. You return to the site one week later and resample the population by capturing 52 pigeons. Of the 52, 30 are marked from your first sample. How many pigeons are in the population?
To measure the population of lake trout in a 250-hectare lake, 100 individuals were netted and marked with a fin clip, and then returned to the lake. The next week, the lake is netted again, and out of the 300 lake trout that are caught, 15 have fin clips. Using the capture-recapture estimate, the lake trout population size could be closest to? Also, what formula do I use to solve this problem? Thank You!
