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.

A graph titled "Average hamster weight (kg) vs. Amount of drug (mg/day)"
lakkis [162]

Explanation:

D. average hamster weight decreases with an increase in the daily amount of a drug until the hamsters reach a minimum possible weight.

Trend: There was a gradual decrease in the hamster's weight til a minimum was reached, after with the rate of its change in weight with treatment over time plateaued.

Trends are gradual notable changes or patterns over a series of data points on a line or curve of a graph. These allow for summarizing data and predicting results. A data summary provides a comprehensive report of experimental findings. This makes the analysis of data easier by answering key research objectives outlined in the experimental procedure.  Summaries allow for tracking trends and procedural changes, observations and potential; this makes it easier to arrive at conclusions faster.

What kind of mutation is demonstrated below:<br> ATGCCATGGCATTGA --&gt; ATGCCATGCATTGA
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Deletion

Explanation:

ATGCCATG<u>G</u>CATTGA

-->

ATGCCATGCATTGA

Comparing the two sequences, you can see that one G nucleotide is missing in the new sequence compared to the original.

This is a single nucleotide deletion, where one nucleotide is lost from the sequence. Otherwise, the sequence is entirely unchanged.
