Question
Chapter 1, Problem 4CRQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The effect of calcitonin on blood calcium levels when the release of this hormone is controlled by negative feedback mechanism.
Introduction: The term “homeostasis” means “steady state”. Homeostasis can be defined as the tendency to attain a stable internal equilibrium by adjusting various factors that are optimal for survival.

From the natural population, 20 plants are taken into the laboratory and developed into separate true-breeding lines by self- fertilization-with selection for high, low, or medium number of seeds-for 10 generations. The average variance in the tenth generation in each of the 20 sets is about equal and averages 5.8 across all the sets. Estimate the broad-sense heritability for seed number in this population.
