Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

High heritability means that a large proportion of the variation in the trait in a population is due to genetic factors rather than environmental factors. Therefore, the variability in the population is largely genetically determined. This does not necessarily mean that the genotype or phenotype of the trait is strong or that it cannot be influenced by changes in the environment.
