Question

Narrow-sense heritability for milk yield in a population of dairy cows is 0.2. In this population, the average milk yield is 6 gallons per day. After a round of selection for higher milk production, breeders were able to increase milk yield in the next generation of cows to 6.5 gallons per day. What was the average milk yield of the cows from the original population that were selected for breeding and gave birth to this new generation?
