Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 19P
| a. | It is possible to perform DNA fingerprinting with SNPs instead of SSRs as DNA markers, but in general you would need to examine more SNP markers than the 13 SSRs used in the CODIS database to be sure of a match. Explain why. |
| b. | DNA fingerprinting has been used to verify pedigrees of valuable animals such as show dogs, racing greyhounds, and thoroughbred horses. However, the technology is much harder to apply in these cases than it is in |

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.
