Problem Solver

(calculator)

The Breeder's Equation problem solver uses the Breeder's equation to solve for either heritability or one of the parameters used for obtaining a given heritability.

Parameters available are:

• Average Starting Phenotype
• Average Selected Phenotype
• Average Response Phenotype
• Broad Heritability

Any 3 of the 4 parameters above can be entered to calculate the 4th.

For example: if Average Starting Phenotype, Average Selected Phenotype and Average Response Phenotype are entered, the problem solver will calculate the Broad Heritability

More information on Heritability and the Breeder's Equation can be found here, here and here
