Hereditability

Definition:A measure of how much genetics influence a trait, like ADHD.

It is important to note that heritability is not the same as inheritance. While heritability measures the genetic contribution to a trait in a population, inheritance refers to the passing of genes from parents to offspring. This distinction highlights the complexity of genetics and the interaction between genes and the environment.
