Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heritability is a statistical measure that estimates the proportion of variation in a trait (such as height or intelligence) that is due to genetic factors within a particular population. It is not a measure that applies to individuals, nor does it calculate the absolute influence of genes on behavior.
