Detailed Explanation
Understanding Heredity and Environment
The interaction of both heredity and environment is paramount in the process of development.
- Reaction Range: The concept of reaction range clarifies that genes provide a potential boundary or scope, but where an individual reaches within that scope depends entirely on their environment.
- Behavioral Genetics: Modern behavioral genetics rejects the extreme views of nature vs. nurture alone, establishing that development is a product of constant interaction.
