1. Explain how (a) twin studies and (b) adoption studies are used to determine the influence of heredity on a trait and discuss a potential flaw of each type of study.

a. Why is heritability necessary for natural selection? How would you expect a trait for which there is no resemblance between parents and offspring to change over time? b. Why is differential success among organisms with different variants of a trait necessary for natural selection? How would you expect a trait for which there is no differential success to change over time?

You determine broad-sense heritability for quantitative trait and find a very low H^2 value. This could be caused by: Question options: a). Having a huge number of loci controlling the trait, with variants in each locus having very little (quantitative) contribution to that trait. b). Genotypic variation having a major effect on gene-gene interactions c). Having a significant level of narrow-sense heritability, which is not represented within the broad-sense Heritability d) The increased difficulty in detecting broad-sense heritability for continuous...

In order to determine the narrow sense heritability of a trait, h2, a scatterplot is made plotting midoffspring values of the trait against midparent values of the same trait. The narrow-sense heritability is then defined as: Group of answer choices the difference between the highest and the lowest trait values, squared the mean of the slopes of both the best fit and the worst fit lines through the data points the sum of all the parental values minus the sum...

How would you expect heritability to change if the same population of organisms was put in a stressful environment? For example, how would you predict heritability of plant flower size would change if there were a severe drought? Why? (1 pt)

DNA Sequencing Techniques Compare/contrast Sanger sequencing, pact-bio, and oxford nanopore sequencing techniques. Include how to make a library, and why you would use each one in respect to cost, size, % error, etc. Consider budget, what you want to get out of it, and is there merit to combine different technologies together?
