The phenotypic data below are the shoot lengths of 25 F1 and 25 F2 rice plants atseedling stage, produced from the cross of IR29 and Hasawi rice varieties. The mean lengths of the shoot from IR29 and Hasawi are 23.1 cm and 46.7 cm, respectively. Tabulate and plot the frequency distributions of the F1 and F2 generations. From each distribution calculate the mean, the variance,and the standard error of the mean. What is the main difference between F1 and F2 distributions?
Formulas needed:Range (R) = maximum – minimum (Use the same no. of decimal places as original data.)No. of phenotypic classes (K) = 1 + 3.3logn (Round up answer to an integer. Number may still be increased or decreased as needed.)n = total no. of valuesClass interval (CI) = R/K (Use the same no. of decimal places as original data.)
The mean and standard deviation of plant height from two rice plants (P1 and P2) and their progeny (F1 and F2) and a backcross generation (P1 x F1) are shown below.
Compare the sample variances of P1 and P2. Account for any differences. Similarly, compare the sample variances of the F1 and F2 generations, and account for any differences. Give the possible causes of variation in each generation.
The mean, standard deviation, variances, and coefficient of variance of plant height from two rice plants (P1 and P2) and their progeny (F1 and F2) and a backcross generation (P1 x F1) are shown below. Calculate the broad-sense heritability of plant height in this species and interpret the results.

- A wide-ranging survey of Nicotonia growing in its natural environment recorded a variation in corolla length ranging from 12mm to 47mm with a variance of 36.5. Subsequently, collected seeds were grown in a greenhouse and it was found that the range was now very much lower with most plants having similar corolla lengths and the variance was now only 8.4. After the plants had grown to maturity and formed seed, seeds were collected from plants with either the shortest and or the longest corollas in the population and planted separately in the greenhouse. When flowers were formed it was found that the variance of the plants with the shortest flowers was now 4.2 while that of the flowers from the longest seeds had become 13.7 Calculate the values for heritability in the different groups of plants and explain why this difference may arise.arrow_forwardA wide-ranging survey of Nicotonia growing in its natural environment recorded a variation in corolla length ranging from 12mm to 47mm with a variance of 36.5.
