✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation & Solution
The relationship between heredity and environment in human development cannot be viewed in favor of just one or purely as an additive sum. According to psychologists (such as Woodworth and Anastasi), development is the result of a complex interaction between the two. This means that heredity provides potential limits and biological capacities to an individual, while the environment provides the opportunity for those capacities to develop on a real basis. To understand the detailed scientific and theoretical background of this topic, you can refer to the Wikipedia reference.
