Population A consists of 100 hens that are fully isogenic and that are reared in a uniform environment. The average weight of th

e eggs the lay is 52 g and the variance is 3.5 g2. Population B consists of 100 genetically variable hens that produce eggs with a mean weight of 52 g and a variance of 21.0 g2. Population B is raised in an environment that is equivalent to that of Population A.
a. What is the environmental variance (VE) for egg weight?
b. What is the genetic variance in Population B?
c. What is the broad-sense heritability in Population B?

Answer:

a. the environmental variance (VE) = 3.5 g ²

b. 17.5 g ² for population

c. the heritability of broad sense (H2) = 0.83

Explanation:

a.With the information we have we can infer that environmental factors influence A, which is considered isogenic, thus, the environmental variance (VE) = 3.5 g ²

b.When studying population B, comparing it without environmental changes with respect to population A, we found that its total variance (VT) = 21.0g ²

We generate the following formula with the data obtained previously to find the genetic variation

VT = VE + VG

then VG = VT-VE

replacing data:

VG = 21.0 - 3.5 = 17.5 g ² for population

c. Regarding the heritability of broad sense (H2) in population B, we can reach the result with the data previously obtained like this:

H2 = VG / VT = 17.5 / 21.0 = 0.83

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

1), Diverticulitis

2) Lack of Lactase

3) Bacterial infections

Explanation:

-Diverticulitis is a condition in which the diverticula become inflamed. This woman has diverticulitis due to the inflammation of her diverticula.

-Lack of lactase (lactose intolerance); add lactase drops to milk before drinking it.

-Appendicitis is caused by bacteria infection. If untreated, bacterial proliferation may cause the appendix to rupture, resulting in contamination of the peritoneal cavity with feces and life-threatening peritonitis.

Help!!!<br> What structures could you see under high power that you could not see under low power?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The field of view is widest on the lowest power objective. When you switch to a higher power, the field of view is closes in. You will see more of an object on low power.

How does the flu affect the immune system?
AfilCa [17]
The flu is a virus that attacks your immune system when you are sick. While the flu virus is attacking however you start to get the regular symptoms of getting sick such as a feaver, coughing, vomiting and other things. But the reason why those things happen is because that is the reaction your body is giving off while your immune system is fighting off the virus. Which is why those symptoms stop when you get better.
