The assumption 'environmental variance of the genetically identical plants is the same as that of the genetically variable population' is CORRECT. It is used to estimate the variation due to genetic factors.
Heritability (h2) refers to the proportion of the variability of a given phenotypic trait due to genetic factors.
Broad-sense heritability is affected by genetic and environmental factors.
Broad-sense heritability can be estimated as H² = VG/VP, where VG and VP represent genetic variability and phenotypic variability, respectively.
