Why is it more difficult to estimate heritability in humans than in livestock or laboratory animals?

Heritability is the likelihood of different traits being passed down in a species. It is more difficult to estimate in humans than in livestock or laboratory animals because humans are less controlled. Humans will interbreed among races and cultures, while animals generally keep to their own type.

How many yaks are left?
it has become difficult to estimate the wild Yak population, but there are about 12 million domestic animals in the Highlands of Central Asia
How many sloths are on earth today?
There is no exact estimate. The habitat in which they live makes it difficult to study their numbers. But due to deforestation, the sloth is listed as an endangered species.
How dentition is used to estimate the age of a goat?
Age of a goat can be estimated until it has all its adult teeth - basically two adult teeth have erupted when it is one year old, four when it is two etc etc after it has all its adult teeth it is difficult to tell its age until they start falling out then it is termed broken mouthed.
How many dogs in NZ?
i dont know exactly but there is an estimate of 5 sheep to 1 person40 millionCurrently about 30 million sheep.
How many Cape Fear Shiners are left in the wild?
There are only five populations of this small minnow, all in the Cape Fear River drainage in eastern North Carolina. Small fish numbers of indivduals are difficult to estimate however, and since this species lives in mixed schools with other minnows, it would be nearly impossible to directly give actual numbers.
The current estimate of heritability of intelligence is?
90
In order to estimate trait heritability researchers are most likely to make use of?
twin studies
What is a statistical estimate of the proportion of the total variance in some trait that is attributable to genetic differences among individuals within a group?
Heritability is the statistical estimate of the proportion of the total variance in a trait that is attributed to genetic differences among individuals within a group. It provides a way to quantify the extent to which genetic factors contribute to individual differences in a specific trait within a population.

Disadvantage of freehand cutting?
It is difficult to estimate or determine the exact quantity of fabric needed.
Why do an estimate over actual count?
Sometimes an actual count is too difficult, for example, at a rally. Furthermore, an estimate meets the requirements.
Why is it difficult to estimate the size of a population of animals?
They never fill out the census forms.
Why is it difficult for most Americans to estimate measurements with the Metric System?
It is simply a matter of familiarity. It would not be difficult or necessary had we converted decades ago.
Estimate the length of a company's operating cycle?
This is a difficult question to answer for there are too many variables.
Why is estimating important when dividing with decimals?
Using an estimate ensures that the answer is about right. With decimals where the decimal point should go is difficult for a lot of people, so an estimate of the answer ensures that it is put in the right place.
Why are ecosystem services rarely included in economic analysis?
Their cost is difficult to estimate and people take them for granted.
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.
