Question

A researcher has been studying kernel number on ears of corn. In one highly inbred strain, the variance for kernel number is 426 and the mean is 1625.

a. Within this strain, what is the broad-sense heritability for kernel number?

b. What is the narrow-sense heritability for kernel number? Why?

c. Within this strain, seeds of corn with a kernel number of 1000 were used to produce the next generation. What is the predicted mean kernel number in the next generation?
