Answer:

Variability in a trait is due to a combination of environmental and genetic factors, where at least 50% can be attributed to genetic differences.

Explanation:

The heritability of a trait is the influence of both, environment and genes, on the <em>phenotype variation</em> among individuals. The <em>proportion</em> between phenotypic variation and variation in genetic values is defined as heritability.

There are 2 types of heritability: <em>Broad sense</em> (genetic variation due to dominance and epistasis) and <em>Narrow sense</em> (genetic variation due to additive genetic values).

<em>Heritability estimation</em> is based on observations and empirical data analysis, which used mathematical models like Breeder's equation and statistical analysis. An 0,50 value indicates that variability in a trait is due to a combination of environmental and genetic factors, and <em>genetic differences among individuals account for 50% of the variability in the trait</em>, so it can be inferred that the trait is very complex, like a multifactorial condition, for which the environment can play an important role.

Yearly rainfall-12–30 inches; mild summers, cold winters - _________________
Fudgin [204]

Yearly rainfall-12–30 inches; mild summers, cold winters are considered as weather conditions.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To understand the basic difference between the weather condition and climate let’s look into the basic difference. Weather condition is the condition that is been experienced whereas the climate is a condition that is expected to be happening for a long period of time.

Here mild summer and cold winners are the weather condition of that place.  Climate will be the average weather of that particular region. While weather is the condition observed during that particular period climate is the condition observed for years together.

Sever21 [200]

The correct answer is: B. Fungus X is a common mold, and fungus Y is a chytrid.

A mold is a fungus that grows in the form of multicellular filaments called hyphae which form a network known as a mycelium. This group of fungi is important in biotechnology and food science (for example production of foods, beverages, antibiotics, pharmaceuticals and enzymes).

Chytrid ("little pot") refers to group of fungi with chitin cell walls, a posterior flagellum and absorptive nutrition. They reproduce with zoospores (motile asexual spores).
