To determine:
The relation of response to selection to narrow-sense heritability and selection differential.

Selection differential is denoted by the letter “S”. It determines the differences in
To determine:
The information provided by the response to selection.
Introduction:
Selection differential is denoted by the letter “S”. It determines the differences in phenotypes. Narrow-sense heritability is denoted by the symbol h2. It represents the proportion of phenotypic variance occurred due to one of the components of genetic variance (additive genetic variance).
