6. You are studying the physiology of hypertension (high blood pressure) using the rat as a model system and wish to breed a strain of rat which has naturally high blood pressure. Systolic blood pressure is a quantitative trait with a continuous phenotypic distribution. It is measured as millimeters of mercury displaced in a blood pressure meter (mm Hg). You start with a base population of normal domestic rats, which has a mean systolic blood pressure of 120 mm Hg. You select the 10% of the rats which have the highest systolic blood pressure. The average systolic blood pressure value of these selected breeders is 140 mm Hg. You then interbreed the selected rats and measure the systolic blood pressure in their progeny. What would be the average systolic blood pressure in the progeny of the selected breeders if A. heritability = 0.5 ? B. heritability = 1.0 ? C. heritability = 0 ? D. In a second experiment, you go back to that same base population of domestic rats and select the 10% of…

1. A soybean breeder is aiming to breed for early maturation. He was able to cross variety A which has desirable agronomic characteristics but late maturation with variety B which has less-than-ideal agronomic characteristics but early maturation. In addition to the F₁ population, F2 and BC1 population were also generated. The variances for each population are presented below. Population P₁ P2 F₁ F2 BC1 Variance 3.3 days² 4.7 days² 6.6 days² 19.2 days² 12.1 days² h²broad = 74.5% h²narrow = 74.0% a) Based on the data from this experiment, will you recommend putting in effort to breed for early maturation in soybean? Justify your answer by citing and interpreting the relevant heritability value(s).
elp Normal ▾ B IU A - Corn Breeding / Genetic Problem A corn breeder is working with 2 inbred corn plants. He is interested in two traits: High yield (produces lots of corn) and drought tolerance (does not need lots of water). High yield (H) is dominant to low yields (h). Drought tolerance (D) is dominant to drought intolerance (d). M BEE Inbred 1 is true breeding for drought tolerance and low yield (DDhh). Inbred 2 is true breeding for drought intolerance and high yield (ddHH). In the parent cross (P) the corn breeder crossed inbred 1 with inbred 2. The resulting F₁hybrid (DdHh) was heterozygous for drought tolerance and high yields. Phenotypically all the corn needs little water to grow and produces lots of corn. This is the corn that is sold to farmers, planted in the Spring and harvested in the Fall. Explain why the farmer does NOT hold back some of the Fall harvested (F₂) kernels and plant them next Spring. You must show your work. (Hint: As a %, how many of the F2 kernels still…

Once upon a time there was a population of hippies living in an isolated commune called Gone. They had been there for generations, and all members were homozygous for a gene that gave them a preference for crafting necklaces out of green beads, so that every individual had the genotype GG at this locus. In another isolated commune, called Yonder, was a population of hippies that had a genetic propensity for making necklaces out of yellow beads, and everyone was homozygous for a different allele at the same genetic locus; their genotype was YY. Last year (prior to our current social isolating) everyone repaired their VW buses, and a giant gathering in celebration of the 50th anniversary was held at the Oregon Country Fair. The next few questions will ask you about these two populations that came together at the fair.
