In their study of the heritability of autistic traits among Dutch teens, Rosa Hoekstra and her colleagues were careful to choose participants from a variety of backgrounds and circumstances. Why is careful sampling especially important to studies of heritability?
 
  a. The effects of heritability are most obvious in populations that exclude extreme environmental conditions, such as affluent or very poor families.
  b. Environmental influences are magnified in extreme environmental conditions, such as among affluent or very poor families.
  c. Extremes of environmental conditions, such as affluent or very poor families, tend to magnify the influence of heritability.
  d. These precautions are really not relevant, because heritability cannot be assessed experimentally.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
