PART 2: Breeding Value, Gene Combination Value, Expected Progeny Difference For this part, you will calculate the gene combination and breeding values for Dr. Coleman's elite racing stallion, Usain Colt. Instructions: Use the online random coin flipper to generate allelic values at each locus. Use those values to calculate the GCV and EBV (BV, but since it's just an estimated value...and geneticists love acronyms and initialisms, so... EBV) for Usain Colt. For every coin that lands on heads, you will put -6 seconds for the corresponding allele at that locus and +6 seconds for every coin that lands on tails. (this is the amount of time added or subtracted from the population average) Heads: -6 seconds Tails: +6 seconds (Hint: You can flip multiple coins simultaneously using the random coin flipper.) Example: I flipped 12 coins (2 alleles for 6 loci) with the following outcome: Heads, Heads, Heads, Tails, Heads, Tails, Tails, Tails, Tails, Tails, Heads, Tails. Therefore, I would go from beginning to end with the first two results corresponding to allele 1 and allele 2 for locus A. The third and fourth results would correspond to allele 1 and allele 2 for locus B, and so on. Locus A Locus B Locus C Locus D Locus E Locus F Total Allele 1 662 -6 -6 -12 660 -6 6 6 -6 12 6 6 6 6 0 12 12 0 Allele 2 Locus Totals: GCV: 12 EBV: 6 6. Now it is your turn to flip coins and calculate the GCV and EBV resulting from those coin flips. Locus A Locus B Locus C Locus D Locus E Locus F Total Allele 1 Allele 2 Locus Totals: G
