. The mean grain yield of an open pollinated rye breeding population is determined to be 72 bushels/acre. Your goal is to improv

e grain yield in this population. The mean grain yield of selected individuals from this population is 93 bushels/acre. Selected individuals are intermated to form a new population. The new population mean is determined to be 84 bushels/acre. With this information, calculate the selection intensity, response to selection and heritability of grain yield. (3) Report your answers for A and B as whole numbers and your answer for C to 2 decimal places.

Answer:

a) the selection intensity is 21bushels/acre

b) the response to selection is 12bushels/acre

c) The heritability is 0.57 (two decimal places)

Explanation:

Given:

mean grain yield population=72bushels/acre

mean grain yield selected individuals=93bushels/acre

mean grain yield new population=84busgels/acre

a) The selection intensity is given by:

SI=mean grain yield selected individuals-mean grain yield population=93-72=21bushels/acre

b) The response to selection is:

RS=mean grain yield new population-mean grain yield population=84-72=12bushles/acre

c) The heritability of grain yield is:

H=RS/SI=12/21=0.57

skelet666 [1.2K]
A cell is analogous to an engineered watch because it consists of numerous interdependent sub units and also because coded information can not arise from random processes. A cell is the basic unit of living systems. Although it is relatively easy to visualize the components of cells, it is difficult to conceptualize how these components function together to sustain life within the cell.

Absolute Dating

AKA. RADIOMETRIC DATING

We can learn about the past by studying the present.

The Principle of Uniformitarianism states that current geological processes are the same processes that were at work in the past. This principle was proposed by Charles Lyell in the 1800's

Absolute Dating

Involves finding the absolute age (actual age) of a rock or fossil.

Elements that emit particles and energy are radioactive.

As radioactive elements emit particles and energy, they form new isotopes or elements.

The cells in this part of a plant form long, vertical tubes. What is the most
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

D. The tubes allow water and nutrients to be transported throughout

the plant.

Explanation:

option D supports the description of the cells. The long , vertical tubes transport water and nutrients and are most likely xylem and phloem vessels.

option A is wrong since, chloroplasts inside the cell helps in absorbing sunlight.

option C is also wrong, because water loss is controlled by the stomata in the leaves and they are not long tubes.

option B could possibly be right but option D is better suited.

rosijanka [135]

<span>Covered by the two cerebral hemispheres, the diencephalon is the structure of the central nervous system that surrounds the third ventricle. It is composed of several other structures. The most important of them are the Thalamus, which plays a very important role in movements and emotions; and the Hypothalamus, which provides functions including thermoregulation, appetite and regulation of the sleep-wake cycle.</span>
