magine we are selecting porcupines to make them pricklier. The narrow-sense heritability of prickliness is 0.7. Average prickliness in the population before selection is 100 Pu (prickly-units). We have identified two very prickly porcupines to be the founding individuals for the next generation. The prickliness of the mother is 112 Pu and the prickliness of the father is 108 Pu. What will the prickliness of their offspring be?  _____ Pu

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
