Which of the following best summarizes the relative importance of nature and nurture in our development?
 
  The relationship between the two moves only in one direction. In other words,
  our genes set the stage for our development; nurture affects the manifestation
  of those genetic influences. Nurture has no effect on our genes.
  The relationship between the two is clear. Genes (nature) determine our
  physical traits, while nurture affects the development of our psychological and
  behavioral traits.
  Nurture is the primary influence on our overall development. Genes only set
  the stage, and from the moment of birth nurture takes over.
  The relationship between the two is reciprocal. In other words, our genes set
  the stage for our development; nurture affects the manifestation of those
  genetic influences. Nurture, in turn, affects genes.

Question 2

What does current research tell us about the resolution of the nature-nurture controversy?
 
  Nature is proving to be dominant over nurture in the understanding of human
  behavior.
  We can no longer attribute behavior to one or the other since virtually all
  human behaviors result from a complex interaction between nature and
  nurture.
  Nurture is far more important in understanding behavior than is nature.
  It is clear that some behaviors are driven solely by nature and some are driven
  solely by nurture.
