Two true-breeding cucumber plant lines P1 and P2 produce cucumbers with lengths of 12 inches and 6 inches. When the two lines are crossed the F1 has an average length 9 inches and a variance of 2.0. The F2 has an average length of 10 inches and a variance of 3.0. What is the broad-sense heritability H^2?

The answer is 0.33
