When conducting an in-depth scientific analysis of the interrelationship between heredity and environment in human development, their relative effects, and the modern concepts of 'epigenetics' and 'norm of reaction', which of the following statements is most authentic?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Both heredity and participation of the environment are essential in child development. According to modern psychology and biology, heredity determines the potential limit (norm of reaction) of an individual's capacities and characteristics, whereas a favorable or unfavorable environment determines to which point within that limit the individual will 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?
