6 A team of scientists uses parent-offspring regression to estimatewhether earning potential is heritable. They collect data on annualearned income in a set of 20-30 year old individuals and theirbiological parents, and plot each child's income against the meanof their two parents' incomes.Their findings show that earning potential has moderately highnarrow-sense heritability (h² = 0.65), and they also find thatearning potential differs widely between people from differentpopulations.Which of the following is the best interpretation of the scientists'findings?Selected answer will be automatically saved. For keyboard navigation, pressup/down arrow keys to select an answer.abсdEarning potential has a fairly strong genetic basis.Differences between populations in economic status is dueto biological differences between the populations.Children share environments as well as alleles with theirparents, so one cannot conclude from these data that thedifferences in earning potential have a genetic basis.The approach used by the scientists measures broad-sense heritability (H²) rather than narrow-senseheritability, so their estimates of h² are inflated.
