You know that the narrow-sense heritability of milk production in Ayrshire cattle is 0.587. You perform an experiment where you

take a parental population of cattle with a mean milk production of 5.1L/hr and selectively breed only the top 10% of cows in this population, who have a mean milk production of 8.9L/hr, what is the response to selection (R) in your experiment

Answer:

Explanation:

Narrow sense heritability - h​​​​2

​​​​​​selection differential - S

Selection differential is calculated from the difference between the population average and the parental population.

Breeder's equation:

Response to selection - R = h​​​​​​2S

Mean milk production of 10% cows for experiment = 8.9L/hr

Mean milk production of parental population = 5.1L/hr

Selection differential S= 8.9 - 5.1 = 3.8 L/hr

Response to selection = 0.587 × 3.8 = 2.23

Energy Storage in Humans Free glucose in blood has 4 kilocalories per gram, 40 kilocalories of energy storage, and a few minutes
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Fat molecules contain more energy-containing bonds than simple sugars.

Explanation:

Lipids are a large group of mostly non-polar hydrophobic hydrocarbons. They include fats and oils, waxes, phospholipids and steroids. They serve many functions in living organisms such as energy storage molecules, information molecules, insulation against cold in some animals etc.

From the information provided above, lipids have 9 kilocalories per gram, 100,000 kilocalories of energy storage, and 30 to 40 days of life support time. When energy provided per gram by lipids is compared with that of either glucose or glycogen, lipids provide more than twice the energy of that of glucose or glycogen. Similarly, the energy storage capacity of lipids over 1000 times that of glucose and 50 times that of glycogen. Therefore, fat molecules (an example of lipids) contain more energy-containing bonds than simple sugars (e.g. glucose)

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

a

Explanation:

Four conditions are needed for natural selection to occur: reproduction, heredity, variation in fitness or organisms, variation in individual characters among members of the population. If they are met, natural selection automatically results.
