Assessing the proportion of the variation of a trait in a population that is due to genes is achieved by a statistical method called the analysis of variance

The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy says:
*The term “heritable” applies to traits that are similar in parents and offspring. We inherit numerous attributes from our parents including their religious beliefs and, if we are lucky, their vast fortunes. [http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/heredity/]

*...if a population of plants varies in height we can ask how much of this variation is due to genes. Assessing the proportion of the variation of a trait in a population that is due to genes is achieved by a statistical method called the analysis of variance. Once this analysis has been carried out a simple formula provides a number between 0 and 1 that is the heritability measure for the trait in question. [http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/heredity/]
