User:NickMackay9/Falconer's formula

Falconer's formula assumes the equal contribution of environmental factors in MZ pairs and DZ pairs. Therefore, additional phenotypic correlation between the the two pairs is due to genetic factors. Subtracting the correlating of the DZ pairs from MZ pairs yields The variance in phenotypes contributed by genetic factors.
