Answer: 1. S = 0.77
2. R = 0.14
Explanation:
1. <u><em>Selection</em></u> <u><em>differential</em></u> is the difference between the population mean and the average of the selected parents. Its symbol is S.
S = mean of selected parents - population mean
S = 6.48 - 5.71
S = 0.77
2. <em><u>Response</u></em> <em><u>to</u></em> <em><u>Selection</u></em> is how much gain you make when crossing over selected parents. Its symbol is R.
R = mean of offspring of selected parents - population mean
R = 5.85 - 5.71
R = 0.14
3. <em><u>Heritability</u></em> is, basically, a statistical variable that shows how much the variation in a trait is due to genetic factors. Its symbol is h².
To calculate it, use Breeder's Equation:
R = h²S


h² = 0.18
4. You would expect the production to be strongly influenced by environment, because heritability lies between 0 and 1. Low heritability means there is low level of resemblance between offspring and parents. As this program heritability is low, the resemblance is small, which means the characteristics are influenced mostly by the enviroment.
<span>The correct answer is b. Option a is incorrect because these models can demonstrate scientific theories, but they don't prove scientific theories (you would need experiments for that). Option c is incorrect because the models aren't always representing something abstract (i.e. DNA is very real, just very small). Option d is incorrect because they don't precisely mimic something in nature, but instead help us visualize something in nature that is difficult to see or comprehend.</span>
Answer:
Living organisms are not created spontaneously
Explanation:
All living organisms are made out of cells, cells are the basic unit of life, and cells come from preexisting cells
