Answer:

The correct answer is - 11.25

Explanation:

Given:

Average weight gain between weeks 2 and 4 = 10 grams

The narrow-sense heritability of the weight gain between 2 and 4 weeks

= 25%

Then

Average weight gain would be expected among the offspring of parents whose average gain was 15 grams-

by the formula:

Average weight gain between weeks + (h) (Average weight gain between weeks - parents average gain )

= 10 + 0.25 (15-10)

 = 10 + 0.25 (5)

= 10 + 1.25

  = 11.25

Thus, the correct answer is - 11.25

One advantage of light microscopy over transmission electron microscopy is that
earnstyle [38]

Light microscopy allows microscopist to view dynamic processes in living cells because both live and dead specimens can be viewed.

On the other hand, light microscopes use visible light and magnifying lenses to examine specimens.
