Heritability refers to the proportion of variation in a trait that is due to genetic factors. It is represented by a number between 0 and 1, with 0 meaning the trait is entirely influenced by the environment and 1 meaning the trait is entirely determined by genetics. Genotype refers to an individual's genetic makeup, phenotype refers to an individual's observable characteristics, and synapse refers to the junction between two neurons.
