. 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

These waves are traveling at the same speed. Which wave has the highest frequency?
Dmitry [639]

Wave of option A has the highest frequency.

Option A.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Frequency is defined as the total number of complete waves in an unit time. A complete wave consists of a complete cycle of the amplitudes of waves.

In all the figures, we see transverse waves. They have the mean position denoted by a straight line, and the waves do oscillate up and down to complete a full cycle. The most number of waves in a given time has the highest frequency. If we count the full number of waves in the particular given time, Wave A has 5.75 complete waves, wave B has 3.5 complete waves, wave C has 2 complete waves and the wave D has 2.75 complete waves. So the wave A has highest number of complete oscillations in a given time. So wave A has highest frequency.

suter [353]

The correct answer is (c) discover antigens in body fluids.

B lymphocytes act as antigen presenting cells that recognizes and displays the antigen to the white blood cells. These cells process the antigens that are present in body fluids. Professional antigen presenting cells includes B-lymphocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, etc.
