dave is a botanist. he’s analyzing a new species of plant that grows more than 6 feet in height. the average height of this plant is normally 5 feet. to determine whether height is genetic, dave breeds the tallest plants, which are 7.5 feet tall. if , heritability= response/selection what’s selection?

a.

1.5

b.

2.5

c.

6

d.

7.5

Option D, 7.5

Explanation:

In this question,  

Heritability is defines as Response divided by Selection  

Here response = the height of the species produced as result of cross between the selected species

While selection = the height of the species selected for cross.  

Since, Dave has selected the tallest plants ( which are 7.5 feet tall) for breeding, thus it can be referred as selection here.
