Heritability

Frage 1 von 9

1

Heritability research seeks to find out:

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • How important intelligence is for school performance.

  • ow important genes are compared to the environment when it comes to explaining differences between people in some trait or characteristic.

  • Which genes determine intelligence.

Erklärung

Frage 2 von 9

1

Heritability refers to:

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • The extent to which differences between groups in society are due to genetic factors.

  • The extent to which a person’s intelligence is determined by their genetic heritage.

  • The extent to which variability, within a population, in a particular trait or characteristic, is explained by difference in genetic makeup.

Erklärung

Frage 3 von 9

1

A heritability estimate is:

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • A figure that describes the extent to which a person’s intelligence is due to their genes.

  • A figure that describes the extent to which variability in a trait (in this case intelligence) is accounted for by variability in genes.

  • A figure that describes how much of a group’s average intellectual ability is accounted for by their genetic heritage.

What is the 'equal enviornment assumption?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • The assumption that genes and the environment contribute equally to the development of intelligence.

  • The assumption that all people are equal in terms of their abilities.

  • The assumption that twins raised together experience roughly equal environments, regardless of how much of their genetic material they share (whether they are identical or non-identical twins).
