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.

Could I get some information about U.S. involvement in Iraq after 9/11?

Answer:

March 19 marks the 10th anniversary of the American invasion of Iraq. But the U.S. conflict with Iraq began long before that. Iraq invaded Kuwait on August 2, 1990, and American forces were fighting Iraqis continuously for the 13 years that followed in order to enforce UN-mandated no-fly zones, punish Saddam Hussein for attempting to assassinate former President George H. W. Bush, and working to dismantle Saddam’s nuclear weapons program after he expelled UN inspectors in 1998. The decade between the 2003 invasion and today has been an important and traumatic time, but it was neither the start nor the finish of America’s involvement with Iraq and the broader Middle East.

Unlike balanced forces, unbalanced forces always cause a change in motion. They are not equal and opposite. When two unbalanced forces are exerted in opposite directions, their combined force is equal to the difference between the two forces and is exerted in the direction of the larger force.

Cats have several natural instincts, I will list several of them:

To clean themselves: In the wild, cats can get dirt on themselves and will usually lick themselves (or others) to clean up. However, since house cats do this also without training, it is a natural instinct.
To hunt for prey: If you've played with a cat or kitten before, you'll notice that they can pounce on different toys. This is because it is their natural instinct to pounce on prey
To eat: Like all animals, cats need to eat. Thus, they will react to the scent of food or any sign of edible prey.

These are several instincts that I can remember from experience. Let me know if you need any more or if you need any clarifications, thanks!
