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.
