Exercise 10

In a wild strain of tomato plants, the phenotypic variance for tomato weight is 3.2 g 2. In another strain of highly inbred tomatoes raised under the same environmental conditions, the phenotypic variance is 2.2 g 2. With regard to the wild strain,
A. Estimate V G.
B. What is h B 2 .
C. Assuming that all of the genetic variance is additive, what is h N 2 .
