definition:

Q
Limitations of Heritibility
A
- Does not indicate the degree to which a characteristic is genetically determined
- an individual does not have heritability
- there is no universal heritability for a characteristic
- even when heritability is high, environmental factors may still influence the characteristic
- indicates nothing about the nature of population differences in a characteristic
eugenics: intelligence is heritable (point from supplemental reading about how limitations give to much power over the subject)
