Title: Predict the mean weight of the progeny if tomato plants whose fruit averaged 80 Post by: w818220 on Dec 4, 2013 In a population of tomato plants, mean fruit weight is 50 g and (h2 ) is 0.14. Predict the mean weight of the progeny if tomato plants whose fruit averaged 80 g were selected from the original population and interbred.
Express your answer using three significant figures. Title: Re: Predict the mean weight of the progeny if tomato plants whose fruit averaged 80 Post by: padre on Dec 4, 2013 Here's a very similar question with the solution to it
Question Please show me the steps In a population of tomato plants, mean fruit weight is 66 \rm g and (h2 ) is 0.54. Predict the mean weight of the progeny if tomato plants whose fruit averaged 85 \rm g were selected from the original population and interbred. M2= Solution h = (nextgen-original)/(selected-original) here nextgen=M2 selected =85 original=66 h=0.54 0.54=(M2-66)/(85-66) M2=10.26+66= 76.26 |
