Answer:

Broad sense Heritability.

Explanation:

Heritability is the proportion of variance, in a particular population, that is due to genetic factors and not to environmental influences or stochastic variation.

We have,

Narrow sense heritability’ (h2)which is the proportion of trait variance that is due to additive genetic effects while

‘broad sense heritability’ (H2) is the proportion of trait variance that is due to all genetic factors including dominance and gene-gene interactions.

For twin studies, the total variance can be split up into genetic, shared or common environmental, and unique environmental components this enables an accurate estimation of heritability"

Broad sense heritability is mostly measured for twin due to their genetic components and additivity gene action, environment and most likely cause of difference in case of dissimilarity among Identical twin.

Fraternal or dizygotic twins on average share half their genes (and so identical while monozygotic (MZ) twins on average are twice as genetically similar as DZ twins.

Shkiper50 [21]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The overall consensuses about how worried was Britain about the invasion of 1940-1941 was the following.

The general consensus in Britain was that an invasion was imminent. During World War II, the German troops had already captured France, and in England, people considered that it was just a matter of time until the Germans reached the coasts of Greta Britain. That is when Winston Churchill delivered the famous speech "We Must Fight in the Beaches..."

One of those key moments was the Battle of Britain from July 10 to October 31, 1940, in which the Royal Air Force of Britain defeated the German Air Force.

Dr. DeVries is interested in measuring how practice in problem solving affects this ability. The population of interest is high

puteri [66]

Answer: alternative D.

Explanation: Dr. DeVries should choose his sample population randomly in order for his research to be representative, even having a specific population, which is high school seniors, that he wants to study. By <u>choosing specifically students from an exclusive college preparatory school, he isn't considering how students from other schools might perform in his research test</u>. This would be a very important step for him to understand how the practice in problem solving affects the ability related to it. Otherwise, he will have a distorted result.

In this type of system, rules are formed in consideration of the previous rules which were acknowledged for a similar case. Stare decisis simply means to stand by what is already decided. The principle of stare decisis is the core of U.S common law. All court relies on U.S supreme court precedents.
