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. <u><em>Selection</em></u> <u><em>differential</em></u> 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. <em><u>Response</u></em> <em><u>to</u></em> <em><u>Selection</u></em> 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. <em><u>Heritability</u></em> 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.

Imagine that a given species has a gene for hair color (B = dominant brown, b = recessive white) and a gene that controls hair l
serg [7]

Answer:

Phenotypes: All Brown Hair Color and All Short Hair Length

Genotypes:

Homozygous dominant hair color and  homozygous dominant hair length: (BBSS, BBSS, BBSS, BBSS).

Homozygous dominant hair color and heterozygous hair length: (BBSs, BBSs, BBSs, BBSs)

Heterozygous hair color and homozygous dominant hair length: (BbSS, BbSS, BbSS, BbSS)

Heterozygous hair colour and heterozygous hair length: (BbSs, BbSs, BbSs, BbSs)

Explanation:

Hair color :

B = dominant brown

b = recessive white

Hair length :

S = dominant short

s = recessive long

The dihybrid cross between parents with the genotypes:

BBSS × BbSs

If BBSS self crossed; we have the following traits= BS, BS, BS, BS

If BbSs self crossed; we have the following traits= BS, Bs, bS, bs

The dihybrid cross is as follows:

              BS                     BS                  BS                BS

BS          BBSS                BBSS            BBSS             BBSS        

Bs          BBSs                 BBSs            BBSs              BBSs

bS          BbSS                BbSS           BbSS              BbSS

bs          BbSs                 BbSs            BbSs              BbSs

Phenotypes = All Brown Hair Color and All Short Hair Length

Genotypes include:

Homozygous dominant hair color and  homozygous dominant hair length: (BBSS, BBSS, BBSS, BBSS).

Homozygous dominant hair color and heterozygous hair length: (BBSs, BBSs, BBSs, BBSs)

Heterozygous hair color and homozygous dominant hair length: (BbSS, BbSS, BbSS, BbSS)

Heterozygous hair colour and heterozygous hair length: (BbSs, BbSs, BbSs, BbSs)

3. Why is it easy to describe an organism's phenotype for a particular characteristic but
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The sum of an organism's observable characteristics is their phenotype. A key difference between phenotype and genotype is that, whilst genotype is inherited from an organism's parents, the phenotype is not. Whilst a phenotype is influenced the genotype, genotype does not equal phenotype
