Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): Heritability of body condition score in cattle is high.
Statement (II): Progeny testing is most effective when the heritability of the trait is high.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• A. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are correct.
• B. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are incorrect.
• C. Statement (I) is correct but Statement (II) is incorrect.
• D. Statement (I) is incorrect but Statement (II) is correct.

Hint:

Mass selection is highly effective for traits with high heritability.
Progeny testing is the preferred method for traits with low heritability, sex-limited traits, or traits that can only be measured after slaughter.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
