Elephant seals are a sexually dimorphic species of marine mammal that lives off the coast of California. The females, which weigh around 1000 lbs, are much smaller than the males, which may weigh up to 5000 lbs. Suppose that scientists measured the weight of three adult female elephant seals and their female offspring. Parent Weight Offspring Weight 742 780 787 Calculate the narrow sense heritability, h², of weight for female elephant seals to two decimal places. h²: 920 999 1014

The breeders equation describes how heritability is estimated from the slope of a parent-offspring regression True or False?
Sex determination is primarily governed by either the male heterogamety of XX/XY type or female heterogamety of ZW/ZZ type with a seemingly one-to-one sex ratio of males to females. Many breeders of mammals would prefer a bias though towards a greater proportion of females to males due to males being overall less productive to females. What benefit is there is having a relatively equal proportion of male to female offspring when, in production terms, this is less then desirable?
