Heredity & Environment
Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 2,601 times
In the context of human development, consider the scientific and philosophical analysis of the interaction between heredity and environment. According to the findings of modern behavioral genetics and epigenetics, which of the following statements presents the most authentic and scientific perspective regarding gene expression and developmental outcomes?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
The interaction between heredity and environment is a very important dimension in human development. Heredity provides us with biological and physical foundations and certain possibilities, whereas the environment determines how much and in what form those possibilities or 'range of reaction' will develop. Epigenetics proves that environmental factors can influence gene expression.

In the context of human development, while studying the interaction between heredity and environment, the concept of 'reaction range' explains that an individual's genetic makeup (genotype) establishes the upper limit of their intellectual or physical development, whereas the environment determines the point within that range the individual will actually reach.

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?
