A flock of sheep have 140% lambing. The goal is increased fleece weight with smaller fiberdiameter. There are 960 ewes mated at a ratio of 1:40. Rams are two years old when their firstoffspring are born. After the 1st breeding season, ¾ of the rams are kept and used in a secondseason with those sold replaced with new, younger rams. Ewes first lamb at 2 years of age andare retained for 6 lambings but 10% of ewes fall out each year because of non-pregnancy and/ordeath loss (equal loss from all age groups). Fleece weight heritability is 0.3 and phenotypic sd 1lb.A. Calculate the direct response to selection on fleece weight.B. Fleece weight measures the quantity of fiber produced by an animal; however fleeceweight is related to fiber diameter with a genetic correlation of .35. Fiber diameter hasa phenotypic sd of 1.5 micron and heritability 0.5.C. Calculate the response in fiber diameter from your selection on fleece weight.D. You contracted with a university to perform a genetic…

SCENARIO: 1. Romy, 19 years old, came from a poor but big family. He has 6 brothers and 5 sisters. His father is a construction worker and her mother is a plain housewife. Since he is the eldest in the family and their status in life, he always dreams to become a teacher someday. Although his father doesn't want him to study, he works very hard and doubles his time and effort to work for a living and support his studies. In the morning he attends school and sells merienda. After school,l he works part-time in a food chain and at home, he is an online seller. After 5 years he graduated and passed the board exam for teacher, landed a job and after 2 years he was accepted to teach in the USA. Students can present their answers in the class or do short role-playing based on the scenario and answer the questions a. What characteristics of Romy can serve as a model to all adolescents? Is it reasonable that his father dictates and decides for Lito? Why and why not? Will you follow…
