You are trying to predict phenotypes for abdominal bristle number in a population of fruit flies using their narrow-sense heritability (h). In this population h is 0.5. The mean bristle number is 10. Two individuals are chosen with a higher than average bristle number: A male with 13 bristles is mated to a female with 15 bristles. A large number of the resulting offspring are scored for bristle number. What is the predicted average number of bristles armong these offspring? O 13 O 15 07 12
