Question:
1. there is a population of rabbits with long tails. The mean tail length is 30cm. we select a group of rabbits to breed with a mean tail length of 10cm. If the heritability of tail length is 0.48, what should the mean length of offspring tails be?
2. Birds live on a single island and eat seeds. A bird's beak morphology affects how efficiently it can eat. During a rainy year, birds with smaller beaks do better. Birds with larger beaks take too much time to eat each seed.
The beak depth of the population is 20mm. The beak depth of the selected parents is 8.5mm. And h2 of beak depth is 0.8
What is the predicted beak depth of the offspring?
