QUESTION 1 20 1 You are the head of a research in a lab investigating corn You are attempting to selectively breed for larger (heavier) ears of corn. You have already determined that the heritability of ear weight is 0.5. The average ear weight in your population is 183mg. You selectively breed plants that produce ears that are at least 200mg The average ear weight of your breeding population is 221mg You expect the average ear weight of the offspring of your breeding population to be. a. 202mg b. 274.5mg c 216.5mg d. 221mg

Explanation / Answer

If we are attempting to selectively breed for larger ear of corn . And it has been already determined that the heritability of ear weight is 0.5. The average ear weight in this population is 183mg. And selectively breed plants that produces ear that are atleast 200mg. The average ear weight of breeding population is 221mg. Then the expected average ear weight of the offspring of this breeding population to be a 202mg.
