Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heritability is a measure of the proportion of variation in a trait that can be attributed to genetic factors. It is calculated by dividing the genetic variance by the total variance, which includes both genetic and environmental factors. Therefore, the correct answer is D, genetic variance divided by total variance.
