Match the equations or symbols with the correct definitions and then answer the question regarding realized heritability. Mean of parents 0.2 Realized heritability equation h$^2$ = R/S $\bar{X}_p$ - $\bar{X}$ $\bar{X}_o$ - $\bar{X}$ 0.5 $\bar{X}$ 5 2 Mean of offspring R S Mean of starting population $\bar{X}_o$ $\bar{X}_p$ Calculate the realized heritability for the following Mean bristle number of population: 35.3 Mean bristle number of parents from population: 34.8 Mean bristle number of progeny: 35.2

In a strain of mice, the average 6-week body weight is 40 g and the narrow sense heritability for the trait is 0.3. A. What would be the average weight of the offspring if parents with a mean weight of 35 g were mated? B. What parental mean weight would you have to choose to obtain offspring with an average weight of 42 g?
