Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Class Scyphozoa

Explanation:

In the Scyphozoa class, the predominant and sexual forms are beautiful medusas of varying colors, the true "medusas" often seen on our shores. The polyps are small and correspond to the asexual, short lasting phase. Since this class has the predominant species, the jellyfish, we can conclude that the class that the question is referring to is Scyphozoa.

The medusas are shaped like an umbrella and are different from the group of hydrozoans. They can reach from 2 to 40 cm in diameter. The giant of the group is a North Atlantic jellyfish that reaches 2 meters in diameter.

The estimated heritability of 48 percent for neuroticism in the population supports the claim that Group of answer choices the p
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

the variability in neuroticism is due partly to genetic variability in the population.

Explanation:  

In population genetics, heritability (h) is defined as the amount of the phenotypic variation attributable to genetic factors rather than environmental factors.

Mathematically, h is calculated by using the following equation: H2 = Vg/Vp, where Vg is the variation in genotype, while Vp is the variation in phenotype.

An H value close to zero (0) indicates a very low heritability (i.e., the phenotype depends on the environmental differences between individuals), while an H close to one (1) indicates very high heritability (i.e., the phenotype is firstly dependent on genetic factors).
