[TRUE/FALSE] You can always sum all the independent gene effects to calculate genotypic value if no epistasis and dominance exists. [TRUE/FALSE] Your favorite bull has 20 progeny that have phenotypic measurements for two different traits. If you use this information to estimate his breeding value for both traits, the estimates will always have the same accuracy.
Adi S.
You are given h^2 = 0.30 and from the data you collected on your animals, you determine that the phenotypic variance is 210. For a 25 percent weighting on this trait in a selection index, you would calculate the value (that you would multiply the EBV by) to equal (round to three decimal places).
1.The two major tools in improving entire animal population are and .2. In EPD prediction, there are sire summaries, but not dam summaries. Explain the reasons. Think why selection of males are more important than females.
