Question

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 varianceA species of birds passes down The offspring and their contributes to phenotypic the long-beaked trait to parents share few variability in the population. their offspring in the absence heritable similarities of environmental factors Half of the observed variation is due to the additive genetic effects of alleles. This heritability value exists in the absence of environmental changes.

Explanation / Answer

h2= 1

the offspring and their parents share few heritable similarities

a species of birds passes down the long beaked trait to their offspring in the absence of environmental factors

this heritability value exists in the absence of environmental changes

h2= 0.5

half of the observed variation is due to the additive genetic effects of alleles.

h2= 0.01

environmental variance contributes to phenotypic variability in the population
