8. Locate a website that deals with breeding show animals, farm animals, or crops to produce specific traits, such as litter size, degree of meat marbling, milk yield, or fruit ripening rate. Identify three traits with heritabilities that indicate a greater contribution from genes than the environment. 9. Visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website. From the leading causes of death, list three that have high heritabilities, and three that do not. Base your decisions on common sense or data, and explain your selections. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/Default.htm |
