Essay
In a natural population of outbreeding annual plants,the variance of the total number of seeds per plant is 16.From the natural population,20 plants are taken into the laboratory and each selfed for 10 generations.The average variance in the tenth generation in each of the 20 sets is about equal,and averages 5.8 across all the sets.Estimate the broad-sense heritability (H2)of seed number in this population.
