Question: In The Following F2 Population, We Have The Following Data For Plant Height (cm) Of Individual Plants: 3, 14, 15, 15, 16, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10 The Two Parents Have The Following Data: Parent 1: Mean (P1) = 5; Variance For Parent 1(VP1) = 0.5 Parent 2: Mean (P2) = 8, Variance For Parent 2(VP2) = 1.0 Please Do The Following And Show Your …

In the following F₂ population, we have the followingdata for plant height (cm) of individual plants:

           3, 14, 15, 15, 16, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10

The two parents have the following data:

           Parent 1: Mean (P1) = 5; Variance for Parent 1(V_P1) =0.5

           Parent 2: Mean (P2) = 8, Variance for Parent 2(V_P2) =1.0

Please do the following and show your work,

1. Calculate mean for F_2.

2. Calculate Variance for F₂ (V_F2).

3. What is the total phenotypic variance?

4. Calculate environmental variance (V_E).

5. Calculate genetic variance (V_G).

6. Is the plant height heritable? Please conclude if thevariation in plant height is largely determined by genetics orenvironment. To answer this question, you need to calculateheritability (H) for plant height.
