Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The highest degree of heritability is 100% because this means that all of the variation in a trait between individuals in a population is due to genetic factors. However, it is important to note that not all traits have a heritability of 100%, and environmental factors can also play a role in trait variation. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they either fall below or exceed the maximum possible value of heritability (which cannot be greater than 100%).
