Additive variance is 150 lbs2, phenotypic variance is 425 lbs2, and temporary environmental variance is 200 lbs2. Calculate the heritability and round to 2 decimals.
Added by Victoria D.
Step 1
We know that phenotypic variance (VP) is the sum of genetic variance (VG) and environmental variance (VE). So, we can write: VP = VG + VE We are given VP = 425 lbs² and VE = 200 lbs². Now we can find VG: VG = VP - VE VG = 425 - 200 VG = 225 lbs² Show more…
