A sexually reproducing species of algae has been engineered to produce biofuels with varying yields. A colony with the highest yield is stimulated to reproduce with a colony with the lowest yield and the resulting F1 progeny are allowed to grow. Yields among the F1 generation have a variance of 7.8 g2. The F1 are allowed to mate and the resulting progeny are sampled and found to have a variance of 9.1 g2. Assuming that the F1 progeny are genetically uniform, determine the broad sense heritability (H2) and interpret if genetic heritability is low or high.

▸ H2 = 0.14, genetic variability is low

▸ H2 = 0.17, genetic variability is low

▸ H2 = 0.86, genetic variability is low

▸ H2 = 0.14, genetic variability is high

▸ H2 = 0.86, genetic variability is high
