We ran out of time to complete the 6th generation, but my guess is that the mutation would have increased about 5%. As you can see, as the trait BB increases, the other traits ...

... about the heritability of height? Can you say whether height is under genetic control? Why is heritability important for Darwinian natural selection? The best fit line has no discernible slope, and indicates the heritability in height is zero. This does not mean that there are no genes for height. H ...
