Question
Two varieties of tomato plants are grown in the same environment. One variety is more genetically heterogeneous
than the other. Which do you think will have a higher broad sense heritability value for fruit size?
The more genetically heterogeneous variety
Heritability of fruit size will be the same for both varieties since it is a fixed attribute for a given trait
O The less genetically heterogeneous variety
Incorrect
Broad sense heritability is the proportion of all phenotypic variance due to genetic factors (as opposed to
environmental factors). Will that be the same for all populations regardless of how heterogeneous they are?
Consider the extreme scenario of an inbredline where there is no genetic variability between individuals - what
proportion of phenotypic variance is due to genetic factors then?

Tomato plants with the same genotype grown in a nearly uniform environment like a greenhouse will probably show
broad sense heritability for fruit size than the same plants grown in a more heterogeneous environment
such as in an outdoor field.
O higher
O lower
the same (because heritability is a fixed attribute of a given trait)
Incorrect
Broad sense heritability is the proportion of total phenotypic variance due to genetic factors (as opposed to
environmental factors). Do you think this will be the same under all environmental conditions?
