Question

The difference between narrow-sense and broad-sense heritability is that narrow-sense heritability focuses only on environmental variation.

True / False

Answer 1

Answer is "False"

Heritability is the proportion of variance observed in the inheritance of traits in the offspring of a particular population. Heritability can be divided into narrow-sense and broad - sense heritability. The variance can be due to Genetic variance or environmental variance.

Narrow- sense heritability focuses only on addictive genetic variance whereas broad-sense heritability focuses on total genetic factors including addictive and non-addictive genetic variance.
