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

Diano4ka-milaya [45]
<span>The first three scientific inquiry is being related because
 they are all equivalent to the facts of finding emission.

They develop a question that must be answered.
1. The first scientific inquiry is to pose a question or else a problem is being investigated.
2. The next step is the observation, and it helps to form a hypothesis which explains the phenomenon or effect of what is observed.

Scientific inquiry is the diverse ways in which scientist study the natural world and then propose the explanations which are based on evidence which is derived from their work. Also, students develop science ideas of knowledge and understanding how scientist they do study the natural world.</span>

What hypothesis did darwin investigate by studying the breeding of pigeons with distinctive traits?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Arwin in 1856 proved that all pigeon breeds do originate from the Rock Dove and through a process of regression you can recreate the Rock Dove, the ancestor of all pigeon breeds. Hopefully that helped
