Question 1

What number reflects the amount of differences in a population attributable to genetic influences?&#10;A)concordance&#10;B)heritability&#10;C)eugenics index&#10;D)correlation coefficient

Accepted Answer

Heritability is the number that reflects the amount of differences in a population attributable to genetic influences. It is the proportion of variance in a trait that is due to genetic factors.

Question 2

What number reflects the amount of differences in a population attributable to genetic influences?&#10;A)correlation coefficient&#10;B)concordance&#10;C)heritability&#10;D)eugenics index

Accepted Answer

The number that reflects the amount of differences in a population attributable to genetic influences is heritability. Heritability is a statistical measure that indicates how much of the variation in a trait can be attributed to genetic factors. It is often represented as a percentage and ranges from 0 to 1, with 1 indicating that all variation in the trait is due to genetic factors. The other options (A, B, and D) are not relevant to this concept.
