The question prompt provided above specifies the heritability for feather color is 0. Considering the definition of heritability you selected from your previous answer, select the answers that correctly describe a heritability of O for a given phenotypic characteristic. Refer to specific examples we discussed in class to help you eliminate incorrect answers. Ve must by very high for heritability to be O. If heritability for a characteristic is 0, Vp is also 0. If heritability for a characteristic is 0, Vg must be 0. All of the above are correct.

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?
If two carriers of the gene for albinism marry and have children, then each of their children has a probability of 1/4 of being albino. Let the random variable Y denote the number of their albino children out of all 3 of their children. Then Y follows a binomial(n. p) distribution. Find the values for n and p. n= p=

A danger in computing heritability values from studiesinvolving genetically related individuals is the possibility that theseindividuals share more similar environments than do unrelatedindividuals.

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.
Tomato plants with the same genotype grown in a nearly uniform environment like a greenhouse will probably show broad sense heritability for fruit size than the same plants grown in a more heterogeneous environment such as in an outdoor field. O higher O lower the same (because heritability is a fixed attribute of a given trait) Incorrect Broad sense heritability is the proportion of total phenotypic variance due to genetic factors (as opposed to environmental factors). Do you think this will be the same under all environmental conditions? X X
There are two types of alleles: Type B1 and Type B2 (In total there are 10) Type B1 has 6 Type B2 has 4 Question: What is the probability of an individual in the offspring generation being homozygous [p^2] for B1? What is the probability of an individual in the offspring generation being homozygous [q^2] for B2? What is the probability of an individual in the offspring gen being heterozygous[2pq]?
The heritability for egg weight in a group of chickens on a farm inMaine is 0.95. Are the following statements regarding this heritabilitytrue or false? If a statement is false, explain why.A. The environment in Maine has very little effect on the outcomeof this trait.B. Nearly all of the phenotypic variance for this trait in this groupof chickens is due to genetic variance.C. The trait is polygenic and likely to involve a large number ofgenes.D. Based on the observation of the heritability in the Mainechickens, it is reasonable to conclude that the heritability foregg weight in a group of chickens on a farm in Montana isalso very high.
ADHD is a highly heritable trait with published broad sense heritability estimates in the range of 0.6- 0.9. Larsson et al. 2014 (doi: 10.1017/S0033291713002493 ) reported the concordance values shown in the table below for pairs of monozygotic (MZ) or dizygotic (DZ) twins with data for male and female pairs shown separately, using data from the Swedish twin register (59,000 twin pairs, born between 1959 and 2001). Male MZ twins Male DZ twins Female MZ twins Female DZ twins 56% 16% 37% 13% Based on the data in this table, does ADHD appear to be more heritable in males or females? Provide one sentence of rationale to support your answer.
