Question:

Measurements on ear length were obtained from three populations of corn—two inbred varieties and a randomly pollinated population derived from a cross between the two inbred strains. The phenotypic variances were 9.2 cm2 and 9.6 cm2 for the two inbred varieties and 26.4 cm2 for the randomly pollinated population. Estimate the broad-sense heritability of ear length for these populations.
