In the context of human development, when closely analyzing the findings of modern developmental psychology and behavioral genetics regarding the interaction between heredity and environment, which of the following statements is most scientific and authoritative?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
According to developmental psychology, heredity and environment are complementary to each other. Heredity provides an individual with a potential range of physical and mental capacities, known as the reaction range, and how much an individual develops within these boundaries is determined by their environment (such as nutrition, education, and social opportunities).

Under Environmental Studies (EVS) teaching and ecosystem, consider the following statements regarding 'Biodiversity' and its conservation: 1. The concept of 'Biodiversity Hotspots' was propounded by British environmentalist Norman Myers in the year 1988, and two main conditions are mandatory to declare an area as a hotspot: that region must have at least 1,500 endemic plant species and that region must have lost at least 70% or more of its original vegetative land. 2. India currently has a total of four officially recognized biodiversity hotspot regions, which are: Western Ghats, Eastern Himalaya, Indo-Burma Region, and Sundaland (including the Nicobar Islands). 3. Under the 'In-situ' conservation strategy, organisms and plants are conserved outside their natural habitat (such as in a botanical garden, zoo, or gene bank), whereas national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and biosphere reserves fall under 'Ex-situ' conservation. Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
