in Kansas, a farmer is growing a variety of wheat called TK138. He calculates the narrow sense heritability for yiels (the amount of wheat produced per acre) and finds that the heritability yield for TK138 is 0.95. the next year, he vists a farm in Poland and observes that another variety of wheat, UG344, growing there has only about 40 percent as much yield as the TK138 grown in his farm in Kansas. Since he found the heritability of yield in his wheat to be very high, he concludes that the TK138 wheat is genetically superiror to the UG334 wheat, and he tells the polish farmer that they can increase their yield by using TK138. Is his conculsion correct? Why or why not?
