Chapter 14, Problem 5TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
According to the chromosomal theory of inheritance, chromosomes are the genetic material carriers in an individual. The theory is an extension to the Mendelian laws of inheritance as it recognizes the chromosomes as a paired factor. Law of independent assortment of genes proposed by Mendel states the segregation of different genes independently from one another.

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.
