true for false?   1a) In Drosophila flies, there are wing shapes such as curly, apterous, miniature and others.  These would be considered continuous traits (as opposed to discontinuous traits).   1b) The reason we assess the narrow sense heritability is because there are hidden genetic components that are simply too difficult to include in the calculation of VG   1c) You can figure out the heritability of a trait if you compare the variation of the trait in a clonal population of organisms to a wild type (heterogeneous) population.
