Question:
One way to estimate a maximum value for the narrowsense heritability is to calculate the correlation between half-siblings that have been reared apart and divide it by the fraction of genes that half-siblings share by virtue of common ancestry. A study of human half-siblings found that the correlation coefficient for height was 0.14. From this result, what is the maximum value of the narrowsense heritability for height in this population?
