Question
In the following Fz population, we have the following data for plant height (cm) of individual plants: 3, 14, 15, 15, 16, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10
3, 14, 15, 15, 16, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10 The two parents have the following data: Parent 1: Mean (P1) = 5; Variance for Parent 1(VPI) = 0.5 Parent 2: Mean (P2) = 8, Variance for Parent 2(VP2) = 1.0 Please do the following and show your work, 1. Calculate mean for F2. 2. Calculate Variance for F2 (VF2). 3. What is the total phenotypic variance? 4. Calculate environmental variance (VE). 5. Calculate genetic variance (VG). 6. Is the plant height heritable? Please conclude if the variation in plant height is largely determined by genetics or environment. To answer this question, you need to calculate heritability (H) for plant height.
