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.

poizon [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is embroynic stage

Explanation:

The prenatal development is divided into three stages germinal stage, embryonic stage and fetal stage. The period of two weeks after fertilization is called the germinal stage. In this stage, the zygote divided and gets implanted in the uterine wall.

The embryonic stage starts for two weeks and lasts up to 8 weeks after fertilization. At this stage, the cell mass is called embryo. In the embryonic stage, the basic brain structure, CNS, PNS are developed. All the basic organs and body parts develop in this stage except sex organs. So the right answer is the embryonic stage.
