"Heritability is a complex concept and answering questions regarding it requires a precise understanding of its definition: Before attempting to answer the question prompt provided above, refresh your knowledge of the definition of heritability and select the answer that best matches the information from your notes. Consider specific examples we discussed in class to help you eliminate incorrect answers Heritability describes the proportion of phenotypic variation explained by underlying genotypic differences among individuals in a population. Heritability explains the percent of variation in an individual's phenotypic that is due to their genetics vs. their environment Heritability for a given phenotypic characteristic is constant for all populations of a species. Two of the above are correct_"
