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.

Discuss 4 ways to eradicate corruption in Kenya
OlgaM077 [116]
1 Throw the current policy, legal and institutional frameworks for combating corruption into the dustbin. They are ill conceived and cannot achieve their intended or presumptive goal(s).

2 Rethink the Ndegwa Report’s recommendation that allowed civil, public and state officers to engage in private business. The fight against corruption shall never get anywhere so long as we allow this conflict of interest.

3 Constitute a multi-disciplinary think tank, comprising intellectuals and practitioners from various fields, to formulate new policy, legal and institutional frameworks for combating corruption. The think-tank should be wary of an ultra-legal, linear or single-dimension approach to corruption.

4 Grant unconditional amnesty to all corrupt acts and omissions from the colonial days to date. The corrupt are too entrenched, having enjoyed unhindered access to state patronage since the colonial days. Any attempt to fight past corruption will never get anywhere. They will easily overrun the best professional teams from our State Law Office, the Police Service and the DPP. In other words, fight corruption prospectively, with effect from the date of the new policy, legal and institutional frameworks set out in
