Chapter 21, Problem 4P

In a cross of two pure-breeding lines of tomatoes producing different fruit sizes, the variance in grams (g) of fruit weight in the F 1 is 2.25 g, and the variance among the F 2 is 5.40 g. Determine the genetic and environmental variance ( V G and V E ) for the trait and the broad sense heritability of the trait.

The mean, standard deviation, variances, and coefficient of variance of plant height from two rice plants (P1 and P2) and their progeny (F1 and F2) and a backcross generation (P1 x F1) are shown below. Explain the possible reasons for the observed differences in the sample means. Account for the differences in the sample means of P1 and P2. Similarly, account for the differences in the sample means of the F1 and F2. Compare the difference in the parental generations with that in the filial generations.

The narrow-sense heritability (hN2) for potato weight in a starting population of potato plants is 0.42, and the mean weight is 1.4 pounds. If a breeder crossed plants with average potato weights of 1.9 and 2.1 pounds,respectively, what is the predicted average weight of potatoes fromthe offspring?
