2 Heritability

Determine the narrow sense heritability of the trait for each of the following situations:

2.1 Response to selection = 1.8, Selection differential = 2.4

2.2 Response to selection = -90.3, Selection differential = -135.4

2.3
mean of the initial population = 35.6,
mean of the parents = 27.5,
mean of the offspring 35.5

2.4
mean of the initial population = 35.6,
mean of the parents = 27.5,
mean of the offspring 28.7

2.5
Mean Parent Value: 12.6 18.4 16.5 12.1 11.9 18.5 19.5 15.7 16.2
Mean Offsp. Value: 12.7 18.0 14.7 13.4 10.9 17.6 19.5 15.3 15.9

2.6
Mean Parent Value: 115.7 154.3 122.2 156.9 154.4 135.5 122.9 167.4
Mean Offsp. Value: 107.4 126.8 111.4 130.5 123.2 115.0 109.8 134.0
