The response to selection of flower size in a plant species is studied. Flower size is measured in the population and an average of 30.4 mm is obtained. A set of plants with average flower size of 34.13 mm are allowed to interbreed and a their offspring have a mean flower size of 32.21 mm. What is the realized heritability?   A. 0.485   B. 0.846   C. 0.767   D. 0.979

Human Evolution

Human evolution is the process of evolution of humans from early man to anatomically modern humans. The process of evolution in humans leads to the gradual development of traits like bipedalism. Humans are the highly social animals that make them the most advanced animal on Earth.  Human evolution is an outcome of interaction among the following processes:
