In the context of the study of the 'relative importance of heredity and environment' propounded by psychologists like Woodworth and Anastasi, which of the following statements is most scientific and accurate based on the findings of research conducted on twins and adoptive children?

Detailed Explanation & Solution

Both heredity and environment play an important role in the interaction of child development. Various studies on twins and adopted children have made it clear that identical twins raised in different environments after birth show remarkable similarities in their intelligence quotient (IQ) and certain personality traits. This is evidence that heredity sets the limits of development, although the environment provides a necessary platform for the full development of those potentials.
