Answer:
12-day litter weight is a trait that has an important genetic influence and therefore also a high response to selection
Explanation:
Heritability is a statistical measure of how much of the variation in a given trait can be attributed to genetic differences and how much of trait variation is due to environmental factors. A heritability value close to 1 indicates that almost all of the variability is due to genetic factors, while being poorly influenced by environmental factors. In this case, 12-day litter weight is a trait that exhibits an important genetic component (i.e., a high heritability value), thereby the correlation between parent and offspring will be high and lines selected for this trait will show a high response to selection.
Answer:
I believe the answer to this question is b observable physical evidence.
Explanation:
The reason for this is because scientists make predictions and use evidence to back up their hypothesis. If the evidence doesn't support their claim, they make up a new one, until they have gathered enough evidence to support their claim. This can be done through past knowledge, like failures and successes and lab experiments, so it is not only each of them, so the answer cannot be c or d. Out of the two options, a and b, I just thought about it and picked b as the reasonable answer. Please give me feedback on the answer, if it is right or not. Thanks! Hope I helped!
