You are an almond grower and want to determine whether almond size (measured as shelled almond weight) is a heritable trait. A s

inn [45]

Answer: 1. S = 0.77

2. R = 0.14

Explanation:

1. Selection differential is the difference between the population mean and the average of the selected parents. Its symbol is S.

S = mean of selected parents - population mean

S = 6.48 - 5.71

S = 0.77

2. Response to Selection is how much gain you make when crossing over selected parents. Its symbol is R.

R = mean of offspring of selected parents - population mean

R = 5.85 - 5.71

R = 0.14

3. Heritability is, basically, a statistical variable that shows how much the variation in a trait is due to genetic factors. Its symbol is h².

To calculate it, use Breeder's Equation:

R = h²S

$h^{2}=\frac{R}{S}$

$h^{2}=\frac{0.14}{0.77}$

h² = 0.18

4. You would expect the production to be strongly influenced by environment, because heritability lies between 0 and 1. Low heritability means there is low level of resemblance between offspring and parents. As this program heritability is low, the resemblance is small, which means the characteristics are influenced mostly by the enviroment.

kaheart [24]

Answer:

A. Nuclear reactors increase thermal pollution

Explanation:

From the analogy provided in this context, we can vividly see that the author is suggesting that the use of nuclear energy causes thermal pollution.

Nuclear energy is an alternate energy source as identified in the text.
Since a huge amount of heat energy is generated and they are not all used up, they are released into the ecosystem.
The earth is usually depicted as heat reservoir.
Increased release of heat to the environment will cause thermal pollution.
This increases the ambient temperature of water and degrades it.
