Which of the following heritability ratios indicates that a phenotypic variability is most attributable to the genome?

A) 0.3
B) 0.9
C) 1.7
D) 0.6

Question

Which of the following heritability ratios indicates that a phenotypic variability is most attributable to the genome?A)  0.3B)  0.9C)  1.7D)  0.6

Rachel Zayrah · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  A heritability ratio of 0.9 indicates that 90% of the phenotypic variability is attributable to the genome, making it the highest value among the options given. A heritability ratio above 1, as seen in option C, is not possible as it implies that the genome alone can account for more than 100% of the phenotype, which is impossible.

Which of the following heritability ratios indicates that a phenotypic variability is most attributable to the genome?

A) 0.3
B) 0.9
C) 1.7
D) 0.6
