Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The genetic potential for Elizabeth's height is known as her reaction range, which refers to the range of possible outcomes for a trait based on the interaction between genes and the environment. While her genetic makeup will predispose her toward a certain height, factors such as nutrition, exercise, and overall health can influence whether she reaches the upper or lower end of her potential range. The other answer choices (environmental range, genetic range, interaction range) are not commonly used terms in genetics or developmental psychology.
