The mating of these two species produces hydrids (intermediate F1) with a standard deviation of 139 grams. The variability of the F2 is greater as indicated by a standard deviation of 195 grams. Estimate the number of pairs of factors (genes) contributing to mature body weight in hare. Estimate the average metric contribution of each active allele.arrow_forward
- A species of butterfly shows variation in the length of the antennae. You measure antennae in a butterfly population and find the mean to be 15 mm. You calculate a heritability of antennae length to be 1 (h2 = 1). %3D That summer, there is a severe drought. Many of the butterflies die and only a few survive to reproduce. The surviving butterflies have a mean antennae length of 17 mm. a) What is the predicted mean limb-length of the offspring of the surviving butterflies? [ Select ] b) What type of selection was acting on antennae length in these butterflies? [ Select ] c) Five years later, you go back and measure antennae length in this butterfly population again.
