✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Heredity and Environment in Child Development
The relationship between heredity and environment in child development is not a simple quantitative or additive equation; rather, it is highly dynamic.
- Heredity: Provides the potential traits and biological boundaries for an individual.
- Environment: Determines how far a person will develop within those established boundaries.
- Epigenetics: Explains how environmental experiences (such as stress, nutrition, and education) can activate or deactivate gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence.
Conclusion: Option A correctly encapsulates this complex, transactional relationship recognized in modern behavioral genetics.
