In a population of 100 inbred genotypically identical rice p

In a population of 100 inbred, genotypically identical rice plants, variance for grain yield is 2.16.

What is the heritability for yield?

Would you advise a rice breeder to improve yield in this strain of rice plants by selection?

a) Yes. Selection would be effective in this strain of rice.

b) No. Selection would not be effective in this strain of rice.

Solution

Ans:

The answer is 0, Since all the lines genotypically identical. there wont be any variance for grain yield

b) No. Selection would not be effective in this strain of rice.
