Which statement best reflects the roles of heredity and environment in shaping our behaviour

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heredity influences our physiology, which interacts with our environment to shape our behavior. This suggests that both heredity and environment play a role in shaping behavior, but heredity's impact is indirect.

 This statement is too broad and oversimplifies the complexity of the nature-vs-nurture debate. It is not accurate to say that heredity only affects physical behavior and that environment only affects psychological behavior.

Answer: D 
 This statement is also not supported by current research. Genetic factors do contribute to behavior, but it is also influenced by various environmental factors.
