What role would twin and adoption studies play in selecting a model for determining whether attendance at medical school is a heritable trait? What heritability values would make you take the study to the next level?
In a study conducted on human height, heritability estimates that were initially done on children with an average age of 5 years old was 74%. Heritability estimates were again performed on the same individuals when they reached adulthood with an average of 40 years old. The result was 30%. Explain the results.

Estimates of broad sense heritability for the commercially important trait "first lactation milk" in dairy cows have nearly doubled from ~0.25 in the 1970's to ~0.4 today. Which of the following can explain this increase? All of these can explain the increase O The number of genes impacting the first lactation milk phenotype is higher now than it was in the 1970s Dairy cows are reared in more uniform environments now than they were in the 1970s O Dairy cows are more genetically uniform now than they were in the 1970s
When looking at the trait, birth weight in cattle, the average calf weighs 70 lbs with a standard deviation of 5 lbs. Given this simple information, calculate the following: -What is the range of weight for 68.26% of the population? -What percent of the time would a calf weigh more than 80 lbs? -What percent of the time would a calf weigh less than 55 lbs? ***Make sure to enter your answers using numbers & use decimals when necessary***
The heritability for egg weight in a group of chickens on a farm inMaine is 0.95. Are the following statements regarding this heritabilitytrue or false? If a statement is false, explain why.A. The environment in Maine has very little effect on the outcomeof this trait.B. Nearly all of the phenotypic variance for this trait in this groupof chickens is due to genetic variance.C. The trait is polygenic and likely to involve a large number ofgenes.D. Based on the observation of the heritability in the Mainechickens, it is reasonable to conclude that the heritability foregg weight in a group of chickens on a farm in Montana isalso very high.
