Explanation / Answer

4.

The chance that a polygenic multifactorial trait will occur in an individual is the empiric risk.

The prevalence of a genetic disorder is the propotion of individuals in a population who have the disorder at a specific time.

The number of new cases of a genetic disorder diagnosed per year in a population of given size is the incidence of the disorder

The proportion of phenotypic variance for a trait that is due to genetic differences in a trait is due to heritability

The proportion of genes that two people with certain relationship share is coefficient of relatedness

Among pair of twins in whom atleast one has a trait, the percentage of pairs in which both the twins express the trait is the concordance of the trait
