The mean weight of pumpkins in a pumpkin patch is 10 lbs. From this population a group of pumpkins, all weighing 15 lbs, were se

lected for breeding purposes. In the resulting offspring, it was noted that the average pumpkin weight was 12 lbs. What is the narrow-sense heritability of pumpkin weight in this population

Answer:

0.4

Explanation:

Narrow sense heritability is a form of heritability (the other one is broad sense) that is used to describe the percentage of trait variance that is caused as a result of additive genetic factors. It is represented as h² = Va / Vp

Where Va = additive genetic variance

Vp = phenotypic variance

In this case, to get the narrow-sense heritability of pumpkin weight in this population

We have the following

mean weight of original pumpkin patch = 10lbs

weight of a group of original pumpkin = 15lbs

the average weight of offspring pumpkin = 12lbs

Hence we have h² = Va / Vp

= (12 - 10) ÷ (15 ÷ 10)

= 0.4

Effectus [21]

Answer:

Basidiocarp

Explanation:

This is a multicellular structure found in mushroom that are visible to the naked eye and are spore producing. They are the structures of which spore producing basidia are formed. They called called false ruffles. The basidiocarps serve as the structure on which the hymenium is produced. They are the fruiting bodies of mushroom.

A decreased amount of potassium in the blood due to a diuretic drug is known as:
goldenfox [79]
<span>This is hypokalemia. The diuretic drug will, in this case, cause the kidneys to excrete more urine (and therefore more potassium) than usual, leading to a lowered amount in the body. By changing the dose of the diuretic, the patient can have their levels brought closer to normal.</span>
