Question

J 6 You have been breeding roaches in your dorm and are trying to increase the speed in your roach population. You measure speed by timing how quickly the roaches race along the linear track in your dorm room. Your current population mean is 4.8 seconds with a standard deviation of 0.34 sec. You selected the fastest 5% of your current population to be parents of the next generation. The broad and narrow sense heritability values for racing speed in roaches are 0.87 and 0.75, respectively. You wish to develop a faster population of roaches. Round all answers properly to three decimal digits. A) The numerical value for the standardized selection point is _______. B) The numerical value for the truncation point is _______ seconds. C) The numerical value for the selection intensity is _______. D) Calculate the selection differential. S = _______ seconds. E) The mean of the selected parents is _______ seconds. F) The response to selection is _______ seconds. G) The mean of the progeny generation is _______ seconds.
