I decided to breed and sell attack alligators. However, my neighbor was better at it. Being resourceful, I changed my plan and am breeding caimans based on their rarity and speed. I capture 800 adult caiman and measure their speed. The mean top speed was 50 miles per hour (mph) with a total variance of 12 mph. I select breeders with a mean trait value of 64 mph. The mean value for the offspring of these alligators is 51.75 mph. In a separate experiment, I determine the broad sense heritability of speed to be 0.25. A. What is the narrow sense heritability (h2) of speed in the population is? B. What is the non-additive genetic variance (VD and VI) in this population of caiman? C. What is the Environmental variance (VE) in the population?
