Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 20PS
Interpreting Data Review Figure 11.22 We can estimate the deadliness of each type of cancer by dividing the number of deaths by number of cases. (Although someone diagnosed may not die the same year, it's a useful approximation.) If nearly everyone diagnosed with a certain cancer dies, that ratio will be near 1 (100% deadly).If many more people receive diagnoses than die, the ratio will be near 0 (near 0% deadly). Which region of the graph represents the more deadly cancers? The least deadly? Calculate the diagnosis/death rate for different cancers.

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.
