Question

apling Learning acmitian learring Each statement describes the heritability of a phenotype. Classify each statement according to the narrow-sense heritability value it describes. 0.01 0.5 1.0 Environmental variance contributes to phenotypic variability in the population Half of the observed variation is due to the additive genetic effects of alleles. A species of birds passes down the long-beaked trait to their offspring in the absence of environmental factors The offspring and their parents share few heritable similarities This heritability value exists in the absence of environmental changes.

Explanation / Answer

Means the correct option is ' The heritability value exists in the absence of the environmental changes'.

Rest the Answers are right for the values 0.01 and 0.5
