Answer: a. Heritability research is able to identify genes for particular behavior patterns.

Step-by-step explanation:

Heritability is the ability of a trait to move from one generation to another. Heritability, sum of phenotypic (observable) variability that is due to human genetic variations in a population.

Heritability, in a general sense, is the ratio of variability for a trait or character in a population due to variations between genotypes and the overall phenotypic variation.

Hence, as genes identification is are the basis of heritability research, option "a" is incorrect.
