concordance of 75%. Using ONLY this information, does this trait show high, low, or unknown heritability? Write no more than two sentences to justify your conclusion, and/or specify how to use additional information to determine heritability. ITRE

Answer:

The correct answer is "high heritability".

Explanation:

Concordance, is a term used in genetics to describe the probability that one of the twins have certain trait if his brother certainly has it. A high percentage of concordance, such as 75%, is translated into high heritability since monozygotic twins have identical genomic sequences. Additional information to determine heritability will be to study the exposure to similar environmental conditions, since environment can also affect the presence of certain traits.

The correct answer option is B. Green wavelengths are the least used in photosynthesis.

The study pushes back the clock on the origin of Earth's water by hundreds of millions of years, to around 4.6 billion years ago, when all the worlds of the inner solar system were still forming. Scientists had suspected that our planet formed dry, with high-energy impacts creating a molten surface on the infant Earth.
