How to calculate Response to Selection

The selection response is how much gain you make when mating the selected parents. Remember, the narrow sense heritability is a measure of the genetic component that is contributed by the additive genetic variance. The response to selection can thus be derived by multiply the heritability by the selection differential. #AnimalBreeding #animalSelection #Genetics #selectionDifferential #populationMean #selection #breeding #NarrowSenseHeritability #geneticVatiance #Allele #populationGenetics #QuantitativeGenetics #genotype #phenotype #heritability #population #ResponseToSelection #phenotypicValue #basePopulationMean #meanOfTheSelectedParents #additiveGeneticVariance #heriability #NikolaysGeneticsLessons
