2) You decide to domesticate otters (like the Russian fox experiment) to start a new pet industry in Missouri. You measure tameness in your otters and observe the distribution shown to the right. Average tameness is -1.9. You select individuals to' breed with an average tameness of -0.5. Use the Breeders equation (show yourZ0 work) to calculate the heritabiity of tameness in your otter population for each of theo following values for average tameness in the next generation: (3 points) h2- CN h?- -4 -2 c.--0.5 Tameness

Explanation / Answer

Breeder's equation

R= h2S

R is response and S selection differential

(-0.5-1.9)= S= -2.4

R= h2S

h2=-1.9/-2.4 = 0.79
