Question
Chapter 25, Problem 18PDQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The mean weight of the progeny if tomato plants have mean fruit weight of 60g, h2 is 0.3, and fruit average mean value of parents is 80g.
Introduction: Heritability is the measure of the extent to which genes are inherited from parents. It is a narrow sense heritability value obtained by selective breeding. By measuring the response of selective breeding in the offspring, one can estimate the value of realized heritability.

E. Bar Graph
Use the same technique to upload the completed image.
We will use a different type of graph to derive additional information from the
CO2 data (Fig A1.6.2)
1. Calculate the average rate of increase in COz concentration per year for the time intervals 1959-1969, 1969-
1979, etc. and write the results in the spaces provided. The value for 1959-1969 is provided for you as an
example.
2. Plot the results as a bar graph. The
1959-1969 is plotted for you.
3. Choose the graph that looks the most like yours

The relative motion between the plates is indicated by the half arrows along the transform plate boundary (i.e., the Pacific Plate is moving to the northwest relative to the North American Plate). Note the two bodies of Oligocene volcanic rocks (labeled Ov) on the map in the previous page located along either side of the San Andreas Fault. These rocks are about 23.5 million years old and were once one body of rock. They have been separated by displacement along the fault. 21. Based on the offset of these volcanic rocks, what is the average annual rate of relative plate motion in cm/yr?

He claims to always apply the same amount of fertilizer to the plants, but he suspects the difference in crop yield may have something to do with the amount of water the crops receive.
