broad-sense heritability
Technical term in quantitative genetics; the proportion of phenotypic variance attributable to all genetic factors (additive, dominance, and epistatic). Contrasts with 狭義の遺伝率 (narrow-sense heritability).
Broad-sense heritability is defined as the proportion of total genetic variance in phenotypic variance.
The broad-sense heritability of this trait was estimated to be 0.8.
Compound of 広義 (broad sense) + の (possessive particle) + 遺伝率 (heritability). A direct translation of the English term 'broad-sense heritability' used in genetics.
