You know that the narrow-sense heritability of milk production in Ayrshire cattle is 0.587. You perform an experiment where you

take a parental population of cattle with a mean milk production of 5.1L/hr and selectively breed only the top 10% of cows in this population, who have a mean milk production of 8.9L/hr, what is the response to selection (R) in your experiment

Answer:

Explanation:

Narrow sense heritability - h​​​​2

​​​​​​selection differential - S

Selection differential is calculated from the difference between the population average and the parental population.

Breeder's equation:

Response to selection - R = h​​​​​​2S

Mean milk production of 10% cows for experiment = 8.9L/hr

Mean milk production of parental population = 5.1L/hr

Selection differential S= 8.9 - 5.1 = 3.8 L/hr

Response to selection = 0.587 × 3.8 = 2.23

.The pollen-producing structures of gymnosperms are locked away in cones and generally not accessible to insects. What mechanism
jeyben [28]

Answer:

Wind

Explanation:

Gymnosperms can be described as plants which lack flowers and fruits.

As they do not have flowers to attract insects like the angiosperms, they can, however, transfer their pollen through the wind. As pollen is very light in weight hence, it can be transported by the wind. The pollen transported by the wind usually results in self-pollination as the wind is not able to take the pollen to long distances.
