The unit of genetic code, which has three nucleotides that code for amino acids, is called codon. The mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) got attached to the ribosomal complex in the cytoplasm. The transfer RNA conveys amino acids to the ribosomal complex where the pairing of an anticodon of tRNA (transfer ribonucleic acid) takes place with complementary codon of the messenger RNA. Again, new amino acid is carried by tRNA, which again binds to the complementary codon of mRNA. In this way, amino acids get linked to each other, forming the long chain of the polypeptides.

In a natural population of outbreeding plants, the variance of the total number of seeds per plant is 16. 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.

Question 1 In a population of Jackalopes (pictured below), horn length will vary between 0.5 and 2 feet, with the mean length somewhere around 1.05 feet. You pick Jackalopes that have horn lengths around 1.75 feet to breed as this appears to be the optimal length for battling other Jackalopes for food. After a round of breeding, you measure the offsprings' mean horn length is 1.67. What is the heritability of horns length (h2)? Is Jackalope horn length a heritable trait?
