The University of Illinois has been conducting one of the longest selection experiments, begun in 1896 by C. G. Hopkins. Researchers have been selecting for high corn oil content (as measured in % dry mass). Researchers select those plants with the highest corn oil content, and use only those individuals to seed the next generation. Here is a portion of actual data from their experiment:
1899 mean oil content in entire population: 5.65% dry mass
mean oil content of selected plants: 6.30% dry mass
1900 mean of oil content in entire population: 6.10% dry mass
Calculate the heritability of corn oil content (% dry mass). For full credit, show your work, including any equations used.
