A selection differential of 40 mg per generation was used in an experiment to select for increased
Question:
A selection differential of 40 mg per generation was used in an experiment to select for increased pupa weight in Tribolium. The narrow-sense heritability for pupa weight was estimated to be 0.3. If the mean pupa weight was initially 2000 µg and selection was practiced for 10 generations, what was the mean pupa weight expected to become?
