What's the difference between genetic and heritability?

Genetic


Definition:

  • (a.) Same as Genetical.

Example Sentences:

  • (20) The recent discovery of nuclear retinoic acid receptors provides a basis for understanding how retinoic acid acts at the genetic level.

Heritability


Definition:

  • (n.) The state of being heritable.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Osteogenesis imperfecta is the common term for a heterogeneous group of heritable disorders of connective tissue with lethal and nonlethal forms.
  • (2) This study focuses on the expansion and maturation of the fatty streak in the aorta of Watanabe Heritable Hyperlipemic rabbits and comparably hypercholesterolemic fat-fed rabbits between 2 and 6 months duration of hypercholesterolemia.
  • (3) Our results illustrate, once again, that heritability is not a constant, but depends on the precise characteristics of the population and the time at which it is studied.
  • (4) A significant relationship with heritable fragile sites was found in this study.
  • (5) The heritability of the two traits of walking behavior was remarkably different; the former was estimated to be about 7%, the latter 26%.
