Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The heritability index is a statistic used in genetics that estimates the proportion of variation in a phenotypic trait in a population that is due to genetic variation among individuals. This index ranges from 0.0 (no genetic contribution) to 1.0 (all variation due to genetics), hence the correct range is 0.0 to +1.0.
