A marijuana grower in Ft Jones, CA would like to increase the average amount of THC in his crop. He has estimated that the concentration in his current crop is 19 mg/g of product. The grower selects the top 7 male and 7 female plants in his current population and allows them to intercross. After pollination, the grower estimates that the average THC concentration in these plants is a bomber 30 mg/g THC! He plants the F1 seeds and after the next growing season finds that the average THC concentration is 26 mg/g THC in these plants. Unfortunately, the grower started listening to his old Deep Purple 8 tracks and can't find the notebook in which he recorded this information. 1. Can you please tell the grower what the selection differential for THC production was that produced this crop? 2.Can you please remind the grower what is the response to selection for THC production was in this population? 3 .Can you please tell the grower what the narrow-sense heritability is for THC production in his population
