A flock of broiler chickens has a mean weight gain of 700 g between ages 5 and 9 weeks, and the narrow-sense heritability of weight gain in this flock is 0.80. Selection for increased weight gain is carried out for 5 consecutive generations, and in each generation the average of the parents is 50 g greater than the average of the population from which the parents were chosen.

Assuming that the heritability remains constant at 0.80, what is the expected mean weight gain after the 5 generations of selection?
