Answer:

The environment cannot influence that trait.

Explanation:

Heritability refers to the measure of the differences in the gene of a person and how the genes are influenced by the environmental factors and controls the trait.

The heritability is counted between 0 to 1 which is counted on the measure of how the gene is influenced by the environment.

In the given if the heritability is very high that means close to 1 therefore it means the trait is controlled only by the genetics of the person and least influenced by the environmental factors.

Thus, the selected option is correct.

Answer:

Option B, The environment cannot influence that trait.

Explanation:

Heritability is the measure of effectiveness of a gene to explain majority of genetic variations in a given set of population. This can also be measured mathematically in terms of number in a way that if heritability is close to 5 it means that gene is able to explain maximum genetic variations and if the heritability it close to 1 it means that gene is unable to explain the genetic variation and hence the variations are not genetic.  

Thus a trait having a high heritability means that it will be inherited and hence will produce genetic variations in offspring. Therefore, the impact of external factors such as environment on genetic variations of offspring will be the least or negligible.

Hence, option B is correct

prisoha [69]
The statements that are true are the following:
1. The levels of microsomal enzymes are decreased.
Microsomal enzymes are functional parts of the human liver, which participate actively in the drug metabolism. It has been shown that the activity of these enzymes is lower in children, reaching its full activity in adult individuals. 
2. First pass elimination is reduced because of the immaturity of the liver.
First pass elimination is a phenomenon of drug metabolism, that occurs in the liver or the gut and involves the reduction of the drug concentration before it reaches the systemic circulation. In neonates, the liver is immature and undergoes several changes during the postnatal period.
3. Gastric emptying is slowed because of slow or irregular peristalsis.
 Peristalsis is a term referring to the movement of food to several positions of the digestive tract, through muscle contractions. Gastric emptying is strongly affected by peristalsis. Some children have irregular peristaltic movement.
