In a population of tomato plants mean fruit weight is 60 g and narrow-sense heritability (or realized heritability - h2) is 0.3. predict the results of artificial selection (the mean weight of the progeny) if tomato plants whose fruit averaged 80 g were selected from the original population and interbred.

The mean weight of the progeny is grams

Explanation:

Given -

Mean fruit weight of tomato plant (M1) g

Narrow sense heritability (h2) g

Mean weight of tomato plant selected for artificial selection (M0) g

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

The mean weight of the progeny is grams
