The heritability of intelligence as measured by IQ tests changes with socioeconomic status (SES). When participants are of high SES, heritability is high; when participants are of low SES, heritability is near zero. Which statement best explains this observation? monozygotic (MZ) twins occur less frequently amongst parents of high SES monozygotic (MZ) twins occur less frequently amongst parents of low SES there is greater variation in IQ scores amongst participants of high SES there is greater variation in IQ scores amongst participants of low SES heritability only applies to the specific population and specific environment in which it is measured

A personality psychologist is interested if being a snob is heritable. To answer this question a personality psychologist recruits a huge sample of 2,593 identical twins and found that identical twins were similar in how snobby they were with an effect size of r=0.6. They also recruit a huge sample of 1845 fraternal twins and found that fraternal twins were also similar in how snobby they were with an effect size of r=0.4. Calculate the heritability coefficient for being a snob.

Clubfoot and spina bifida are traits best explained by the Threshold Model of complex traits. The Threshold Model explains the distribution of some complex traits. Only those individuals who have a genetic liability above a certain threshold are affected if exposed to certain environmental factors, such as continuous; maternal age continuous; maternal nutrition discontinuous; maternal nutrition discontinuous; maternal intelligence none of these are correct
