(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The group having highest phenotypic variance.

Introduction:

Genetic and environmental factors are responsible for the variations in the phenotypes. There are three components of phenotypic variance, which are used in its calculation. These components are genetic variance, environmental variance, and genetic-environmental variance.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine:

Whether assuming similar environmental variance for each group would be realistic.

Phenotypic variance is denoted by the symbol “VP”. Phenotypic variance is used to calculate the variations in a population’s phenotypes. Genetic and environmental factors are responsible for the variations in the phenotypes. There are three components of phenotypic variance, which are used in its calculation.
