1. DO NOT ROUND OFF YOUR ANSWERS PREMATURELY. Use the unrounded and complete values when computing for the genetic gain; 2. Upon encoding, all final answers should be rounded-off to TWO decimal places. Examples: 3.5798 = 3.58, 0.0079 = 0.01, 0.00000008 = 0.00; 2. Report your answers as NUMERIC VALUES only. Please exclude the units; 3. Write ONLY one answer for each question. Avoid using "or", "/", "&" and "and". Provide only what is asked to you; 4. AVOID using unnecessary PUNCTUATIONS (. , ? 1; ; etc.), SYMBOLS ( []{ } etc.) and SPACES (before or after your answer). Please follow these instructions carefully. Prediction of Genetic Gain. If the milk yield of a herd of cow is 6,479 kg while those kept for breeding is 6,890 kg, and the h2 estimate of milk yield is 0.85. And the generation interval of dairy cattle is 4 years. What will be the expected genetic gain in the milk yield (kg/year) of the next generation?
stion 6 of 18 Suppose that a geneticist discovers a new mutation in Drosophila melanogaster that causes the flies to shake and quiver. She calls this mutation quiver, qu, and determines that it is due to an autosomal recessive gene. She wants to determine whether the gene encoding quiver is linked to the recessive gene for vestigial wings, vg. She crosses a fly homozygous for quiver and vestigial traits with a fly homozygous for the wild-type traits, and then uses the resulting F, females in a testcross. She obtains the flies from this testcross. Phenotype Number of flies vg* qu+ 230 vg qu 224 vg qut vg* qu 97 99 Test the hypothesis that the genes quiver and vestigial assort independently by calculating the chi-squared, X², for this hypothesis. Provide the X2 to one decimal place. X2 = Does the X value support the hypothesis that the quiver and vestigial genes assort independently? Why or why not? the partial table of critical values for X2 calculations to test this hypothesis.

Achondroplasia is a rare form of dwarfism. It is caused by anautosomal dominant mutation within a single gene. Among1,422,000 live births, the number of babies born with achondroplasiawas 31. Among those 31 babies, 18 of them had one parentwith achondroplasia. The remaining babies had twounaffected parents. What is the mutation frequency for this disorderamong these 1,422,000 babies? What is the mutation rate forachondroplasia?
