A farmer grows crops with an average height of 5 feet. He breeds his tallest plants, which are each 8 feet tall. They produce of

fspring that have an average height of 5.25 feet.
So, the heritability in this case is qa .The trait for height is .qb


Qa: 1: 0.08/ 2: 0.1/ 3: 0.5/ 4:0.8/

Qb: 1 completly influenced by environment

2 completely influenced by genes

3 slightly influenced by environment

4 slightly influenced by genes.

Answer:

Qa: The heritability for tallness in these crops is 0.08, while Qb: Genes slightly influence the trait for height.

Step-by-step explanation:

Qa: The average height of regular crops grown by the farmer was 5 feet. The amazingly tall breeds have a 3feet increment than the usual crops. This progeny of the farmer's choice breeds has a 0.25 feet increment in height than what is expected in other normal breeds. Therefore, the heritability of the tall trait by these progeny was 0.25/3, which is 0.08333.....Approximately 0.08.

Qb: This low heritability index showed that the trait for tallness is slightly influenced by gene, because if otherwise, the index would have been a far way higher than this. However, we cannot conclude that it is the environment that determines the tall phenotype to be expected in the crops; this renders other options wrong.

Answer:

Explanatory variable: Extra support by faculties

Response variable: whether community college students who have assess into elementary algebra could be successful if they were placed directly into college-level statistics.

Confounding Variable: Ability of students to get passing grades.

It is an experiment to check if the hypothesis is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

An explanatory variable is a type of independent variable. An explanatory variable is that variable that explains changes in another variable. It can be anything that might affect the response variable. The explanatory variable is used to predict or explain differences in the response variable. In an experimental or research study, the explanatory variable is the variable that is manipulated by the researcher.

From the information given,

Explanatory variable: Extra support by faculties.

The response variable is also known as the dependent/outcome variable. Here, its value can be predicted or its variation can be explained by the explanatory variable. In an experimental study, this is the outcome that is measured after manipulation of the explanatory variable

From the question above,

Response variable: whether community college students who have assess into elementary algebra could be successful if they were placed directly into college-level statistics.

A confounding variable is that outside influence that changes the effect of a dependent and independent variable. This extraneous influence is often used to influence the outcome of an experimental design. The Confounding Variable in the above is:

Confounding Variable: Ability of students to get passing grades.

It is an experiment to check if the hypothesis is true.
