The narrow-sense heritability for abdominal bristle number in a population of Drosophila is 0.3. The mean bristle
Question:
The narrow-sense heritability for abdominal bristle number in a population of Drosophila is 0.3. The mean bristle number is 12. A male with 10 bristles is mated to a female with 20 bristles, and a large number of progeny are scored for bristle number. What is the expected number of bristles among these progeny?
