A young entomologist is trying to increase body hairs in Drosophila. His original population has a mean of 7.5 hairs, and he selects flies with a mean of 10 hairs to inter-mate and produce his next generation. The mean number of hairs in the resulting population was 9.
1. What is the narrow-sense heritability (h2) for number of body hairs in this Drosophila population (show your work)?
2. What would have been the mean number of body hairs in the next population if she had selected individuals with a mean of 8.5 hairs?
3. If she wanted a mean of 10 hairs in the progeny, what should have been the mean number of hairs in the individuals selected as parents?

Which statements about the fluid mosaic structure of a membrane are correct? select the three correct statements. which statements about the fluid mosaic structure of a membrane are correct? select the three correct statements. the framework of a membrane is a bilayer of phospholipids with their hydrophilic heads facing the aqueous environment inside and outside of the cell and their hydrophobic tails clustered in the center. because membranes are fluid, membrane proteins and phospholipids can drift about in the membrane. the diverse proteins found in and attached to membranes perform many important functions. the kinky tails of some proteins keep the membrane fluid by preventing the component molecules from packing solidly together. membranes include a mosaic, or mix, of carbohydrates embedded in a phospholipid bilayer.
