It is the ratio of genotypic variance to the total phenotypic variance. | It is the ratio of additive genotypic variance to the total phenotypic variance. |
It is less reliable. E.g: when dealing with segregated generations. It is valid mostly for homozygous lines. | It is a more reliable measure as it is based on breeding values. |
