Question
1. Imagine you are researching plants and you find that the variance in flowers per plant in a wild population of the species you are studying is 90 flowers per plant. Imagine you take one of these plants home, use cuttings to make a large number of offspring from this plant, and raise them in an environment that is very much like the wild environment. Imagine that you find that the variance in flowers per plant in your home-grown population is 40 flowers per plant. What is the broad-sense heritability of flowers per plant in the wild population of this species?
I am getting H^2= Vg/Vp = 40/90=0.44, is this correct?
Explanation / Answer
Answer:
Broad-sense heritability of tail length (VG / VP) = 40/90
= 0.44
