It had been said that the phenotypes of the organism are the results of environmental and genetic
factors. Certain phenotypes might result from an organism's genetic makeup and some environmental
influence. In a population, organisms exhibit a variety of phenotypes due to their different genetic
makeup and varied environmental experiences. Therefore, the degree to which phenotypes vary across
members of a community is known as phenotypic variance, and the degree to which this variation can
be explained by genetic variation is known as heritability. The two types of heredity now understood are
broad-sense heritability and narrow-sense heritability (Walters et al., 2017).
In a broad sense, heritability, abbreviated as "H," refers to the proportion of phenotypic variation that
results from genetic influences. “Broad sense heritability is predicated on genotypic variance: HB
2=VG/VP”, claim Conner, & Hartle (n.d.).
Narrow sense heritability, or "h," is essentially the proportion of phenotypic variance that results from
additive genetic variables. "In outbreeding species, narrow-sense heritability, the fraction of total
phenotypic variance dictated by additive variance: h2 N=VA/VP, affects evolutionary rates." (Conner, &
Hartle, n.d.).
Gene flow, genetic drift, natural selection, and mutation are a few of the factors that can cause allele
frequencies in a community to fluctuate. One of the changes—the so-called "four fundamental forces of
evolution"—is capable of producing new genetic diversity; some other three forces just reorganize
existing genetic variation in as well as among that group.
Migraines are another trait that is influenced by immigration and may be inherited. Although there is a
very significant chance and danger of carrying on migraines to their offspring, just because both parents
suffer migraines does not guarantee that their offspring will also get them. Since the mother transfers
the majority or all the non-nuclear genes in the mitochondria and chloroplasts, the maternal genetic
influence doesn't really lead to additive variation (Conner., & Hartle, n.d.).
