CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS; 100%
GUARANTEED PASS!! <BRAND NEW VERSION>
Breeding Value - correct answer- An individual's phenotype
is the result of its genetic merit and the effect of the
environment.
Carcass traits - correct answer- Tenderness, marbling, ribeye
area, fat thickness, hot carcass weight.
Estimated Breeding Value (EBV) - correct answer- Actual
breeding value of an individual is never known.
Can be estimated from an individual's performance and the
performance of its relatives.
Addition of information from relatives will always increase
confidence in an estimate of breeding value.
Full sibs - correct answer- 1/2 genes in common
Generation Interval - correct answer- The length of time it
takes to replace the members of on generation in a herd.
, Symbolized by: L
half sibs - correct answer- 1/4 genes in common
Independent Culling Level - correct answer- All important
traits are considered together.
A minimum level of performance is established for each trait.
Any animal that does not meet the minimum for every trait is
eliminated.
Animals that are deficient in one trait, but superior in all others
will be culled.
Individual's own performance - correct answer- Single most
important price of into for estimating breeding value.
Accuracy can be increased by measuring progeny or sibs.
Measuring relatives cannot take the place of measuring the
individual itself until numerous records on relatives have been
obtained.
Marker Assisted selection - correct answer- Allows for the
selection of specific DNA variations that have a measurable
difference or an effect on complex traits.
