Chapter 19, Problem 14P

In Nicotiana, two inbred strains produce long( P L ) and short( P S )corollas. These lines are crossed to produce F 1 , and the F 1 are crossed to produce F 2 plants in which corolla length and variance are measured. The following table summarizes mean and variance of corolla length in each generation. Calculate H 2 for corolla length in Nicotiana.

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.)
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. ALL WORKING MUST BE SHOWN     a) What is the heritability of corolla length?
Corn plants from a test plot are measured, and the distribution of heights at 10-cm intervals is recorded in the following table: Height (cm) Plants (no.) 100 20 110 60 120 90 130 130 140 180 150 120 160 70 170 50 180 40 Calculate (a) the mean height, (b) the variance, (c) the standard deviation, and (d) the standard error of the mean. Plot a rough graph of plant height against frequency. Do the values represent a normal distribution? Based on your calculations, how would you assess the variation within this population?
