Dr. Bennett does an experiment that leads him to invent a machine that can turn salt water into fresh water. It is very slow and

costly. He continues his research to improve on his original invention and finds a way to make it work more quickly and inexpensively.
Which of the following ideas does this illustrate?
A. Scientific research can be based on the results of previous experiments.

B. Scientific research is only useful for inventing machines.

C. Scientific research is always expensive and pointless.

D. Scientific research is never based on the results of previous experiments.

A breeder is trying to decrease the maturation time in a population of sunflowers. In this population, the mean time to flowerin
aalyn [17]

Answer:

The next generation average time to flowering will be 98 days.

Explanation:

Before answering the question, we need to know a few concepts.

  • Artificial selection is the selecting practice of a specific group of organisms in a population -that carry the traits of interest- to be the parents of the following generations.  
  • Parental individuals carrying phenotypic values of interest are selected from the whole population. These parents interbreed, and a new generation is produced.  
  • The selection differential, SD, is the difference between the mean value of the trait in the population (X₀) and the mean value of the parents, (Xs). So,  

SD = Xs - X₀

  • Heritability in the narrow-sense, h², is the genetic component measure to which additive genetic variance contributes. The heritability might be used to determine how the population will respond to the selection done, R.  

h² = R/SD

  • The response to selection (R) refers to the metric value gained or lost from the cross between the selected parents. R can be calculated by multiplying the heritability h², with the selection differential, SD.  

R = h²SD  

R also equals the difference between the new generation phenotypic value (X₁) and the original population phenotypic value (X₀),  

R = X₀ - X₁

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that we know these concepts and how to calculate them, we can solve the proposed problem.

<u>Available data:  </u>

  • trying to decrease the maturation time in a population of sunflowers.
  • the population mean time to flower is 100 days → X₀
  • Chosen parental Plants mean flowering time is 90 days → Xs
  • the narrow-sense heritability for flowering time is 0.2 → h²

According to what we sow previously, we need to find out the value of X₁, which reflects the next generation average time to flowering.

  • We know that R = X₁ - X₀, so we need to clear this formula to calculate X₁

X₁ = R + X₀

We already know that X₀ = 100 days,  

Now we need to calculate R.  

  • R = h²SD

We know that h² = 0.2,  

Now we need to calculate SD

  • SD = Xs - X₀

Xs = 90 days → Parentals media flowering time

X₀ = 100 → Population media flowering time

SD = Xs - X₀  

SD = 90 - 100  

SD = - 10 days

Knowing this, we can calculate R

  • R = h²SD

o h² = 0.2  

o SD = - 10

R = 0.2 x (-10)

R = - 2

  • Finally, once we know the R-value we can calculate the X₁ value

X₁ = R + X₀

X₁ = - 2 + 100

X₁ = 98
