A selection experiment was carried out on a population of field mice in the lab had a mean hematocrit of 65. The mice used to create the next generation had a mean hematocrit of 50. Once the offspring from that experiment reached adulthood, the experimenters measure a mean  hematocrit of 58. Answer the following questions using this information a). What is the narrow sense heritability for hematocrit in these mice? Show all work b).Using those results, what would be the predicted hematocrit in the offspring population after another generation of selection where only mice with a mean hematocrit 10 points below the parental mean were allowed to breed.

Hematology

Hematology is the branch of biology. Hematology is the medical field that deals with the treatment of blood disorders and cancers, such as hemophilia, leukemia, lymphoma, and sickle-cell anemia. Hematologists and hematopathologists are medical professionals who specialize in illnesses of the blood and its components.
