Heritability is a measure that is used to estimate the variation of phenotypic traits (observable traits) in a given population due to the variation or changes in the genetic make up (genotype) among certain individuals. some of these traits includes color blindness, tongue rolling and curly hair among others. However, some traits such as nearsightedness are caused or influenced by the changes in the environment and therefore Heritability is not a factor to consider when dealing with such traits.
Answer:
4
Explanation:
According to Mendel's law of purity of gametes, each gamete contains single allele for a gene. The alleles of a gene segregate during gamete formation and each gamete has one allele for a gene irrespective of the total number of alleles for a gene.
If the gene for skin color in a fish species has four alleles, an individuals fish would have only two alleles which in turn would segregate during gamete formation.
Since there are four different alleles of the gene (let's assume a,b,c, and d), total possible gametes produced by this organism will be = 4. A gamete can have one of the total 4 alleles making total 4 types of the gametes each with a or b or c or d allele.

The loss of the hydrogen on one molecule produces a negative charge, which is attracted to the positive charge formed by the loss of the hydroxy group from the other molecule.
