Which of the following would not be considered a repeated trait?

When repeatability for a trait is high, the better a single record is a good estimate of future records and producing ability.

Selection is more effective with lowly heritable traits.

All of the following are true concerning heritability EXCEPT

Reproductive traits, in general, are highly heritable, therefore if a sow had a small first litter, you would feel confident in assigning her a low breeding value for litter size.

Why is it important to group animals correctly into contemporary groups?
