✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Heredity and Environment in Development
In the process of development, heredity and environment are complementary to each other. Extensive studies in behavioral genetics and twin studies prove that:
- Heredity: Provides potential capabilities and biological limits for an individual.
- Environment: Determines the actual manifestation and realization of those potentials based on favorable or unfavorable conditions.
Therefore, development is not a result of either heredity or environment alone, but a continuous interaction between both.
