Multiple Choice

• B)the heritability differences between groups is 100 percent even though the within-group difference is due entirely to the environment.
• C)the variation within each group will result from genetic differences but the between-group difference is explained by the different care received.
• D)heritability estimates are valid in regard to group differences but not in regard to the variance found within a group.
