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
