Quality traits, such as fat marbling and milk production are usually the most heritable.
In general quality traits are more heritable than growth traits (such as weight), which are more heritable than reproductive traits (such as conception rate).

What is the original source of all variations in heritable traits?
Mutation
Units of information about heritable traits?
A gene is a unit that determines heritable characteristics. An allele is one of the alternative versions of a gene for a character.
The what Are regions in an organism DNA that encode information about heritable traits?
genes
What are heritable traits?
The word inherited means that it is passed down through the genes from parent to child.
Is there a natural selection of a deer?
Yes. In 1989, there was a deer which was unable to escape its predator. It died before it got to reproduce. Any unique heritable traits that it might have had were therfore selected out of the population.

Which two important factors was Darwin unable to explain without an understanding of heredity?
First, he had no idea how heritable traits pass from one generation to the next. Second, although variation in heritable traits was central to Darwin's theory, he had no idea how that variation appeared.

What is a heritable feature?
Heritability is the proportion of Phenotypic variation in a population that is attributable to genetic variation among individuals. Phenotypic variation among individuals may be due to genetic and/or enviromental factors. Heritability analyses estimate the relative contributions of differences in genetic and non-genetic factors to the total phenotypic variance in a population.
What is the definition of cattle traits?
Cattle traits means, the characteristics that cattle posses. These traits are what cattle are known for or why the produce the way that they do. For example, Texas longhorns are known for their horn size, this is a trait. Holsteins are known for high milk production, this is also a trait.
What are the examples of heritable and non heritable traits?
Non- Inherited characteristics are not developed at birth. You learn them in life for example: Riding a bicycle, using a computer, Liking a sport, adding and subtracting, to speak one or more languages. Hope this helps :)
Why did Darwin believe organisims evolved using natural selection instead of required traits?
One of the strongest reasons he had for thinking natural selection was the driving force of evolution in fact he started his book with this concept, was artificial selection. Breeders had long know that traits were heritable and they could select for the traits they wanted by just mating the favored organisms. From this example Darwin knew that acquired traits were neither heritable or selectable.
What has the author Robert Charles Sykes written?
Robert Charles Sykes has written: 'Secular change in highly heritable traits'
