the breeder selects parents with the desired trait and in a few generations, all the animals they work with have this same desired trait.

in a study of fat content in mouse milk, two inbred strains were crossed and the resultant progeny had a phenotypic variance of 4.65. when these F1 were allowed to produce an F2, the phenotypic variance for fat content increases to 5.64 in the F2. What is the value for Ve in this study? Why did the phenotypic variance increase in the F2 generation? What is the broad sense heritability for fat content in mouse milk?

A genetics researcher determines that the broad-sense heritability of height among Virginia Tech undergraduate students is 0.90. Which of the following conclusions would be reasonable?

Because Sally is a Hokie, 10% of her height is determined by nongenetic factors.

Ninety percent of variation in height among all undergraduate students in the United States is due to genetic differences.

Ninety percent of the height of Hokies is determined by genes.

Ten percent of the variation in height among Hokies is determined by variation in nongenetic factors.

Because the heritability of height among Hokies is so high, any change in the students' environment will have minimal effect on their height.
