Answer:

<em>If all variation among individuals in a population is due to differing genotypes alone, heritability is 100% and the slope of the line used to measure it is 1.</em>

Explanation:

If the genes play no role in the variation among organisms of a species, then the heritability will be zero percent. Hence, if all the variations among individuals of a population occur due to the differences in the genotype, hence the heritability will be 100%. This is because genes are the hereditary molecules and the genotype of an organism comprises of the different genes present in an organism.
