Heritability refers to:

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • 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.

A heritability estimate is:

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • 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.
