Answer: 41.5 OMGs is the predicted mean cuteness in the next generation.
Explanation:
Cuteness is a way to measure relative ability of individuals with a certain genotype to reproduce successfully.
Mean cuteness is given as the summation of individual cuteness. Mean cuteness also changes in the next generation.
The mean cuteness of the current herd was given as 39.7 OMGs and after 16 individuals were chosen, the mean was given as 41.5.
This implies that there was a change already as mean cuteness will either increase or decrease in the next generation after selection. Here, 39.7 increased to 41.5 .
The predicted mean cuteness is therefore 41.5 OMGs.

Student 1’s methods would be more accurate, because the student would control more factors. Only one variable at a time (either temperature or acidity) would be tested on each group of worms. On the other hand, Student 2 is testing both factors on all the worms, which could make the results unclear.
