question 29

Multiple Choice

In order to explain principles of the differences in intelligence between and within groups,the authors described a hypothetical tomato plant experiment.Based on this experiment it would be accurate to conclude that

• A)if differences within groups are at least partly genetic in origin,then differences between groups are also genetic.
• B)the heritability of the 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.
