Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A relatively low h² value suggests that the trait is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, with a stronger influence from the environment. Litter size in mice is strongly affected by environmental factors such as nutrition and maternal care, while traits such as birth weight and milk yield in cattle are more strongly influenced by genetics. Tail length in mice may also have a genetic component, as it is often linked to specific mutations or variations in genes.
