The Australian giant burrowing cockroach (Macropanesthia rhinoceros) is the heaviest cockroach in the world. You are the leading

expert on the genetics of this species and are working to domesticate them for food production. Your starting population (G0) has a mean body mass of 30 g and variance of 0.674 g2. You select the largest roaches from this population to breed the next generation (G1). The selected breeders have a mean body mass of 32.4 g and a variance of 0.215 g2. If the narrow sense heritability (h2) of body mass in your cockroaches is 0.35, what will be the expected mean body mass of the G1 population? Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

For an  Australian giant burrowing cockroach is the heaviest cockroach in the world,  the expected mean  is mathematically given as

M= 31.56g

<h3>What will be the expected mean body mass of the G1 population?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the Narrow sense heritability is mathematically given as

h^2=R/S

Where

S= Selection differential

R= Selection response

R = M-30

S = (32.4-30)

S= 2.4g

In conclusion

(h^2) = R/S

h^2= 0.65

h^2= (M-30)/2.4

Hence

M = (30+1.56)

M= 31.56g

what were some of the strange and unexpected things that scientists discovered when they analyzed the human genome? (the video)
OlgaM077 [116]

<span>Before the completion of the Human Genome Project, it took few years before the well-known forecasts stated that humans had at least 100,000 genes. But latest Human Genome Project evaluates lowered number to a more timid range of 20,000 to 25,000. It has helped to narrow the range of feasible genes and to separate certain candidates as supplying to particular diseases. Scientists have also re-evaluated past conclusions, such as the idea that genes are self-restrained, detached pieces of DNA with defined character. They now know that some genes that tasks simultaneously can make more than one protein; where in fact the average gene might make three proteins. Also, genes will be visible to grab genetic code from other DNA parts</span>
