Concept:Development is the result of continuous interaction between heredity (nature) and environment (nurture). Neither works alone; each influences different aspects of growth.
Explanation:Heredity provides the biological potential for traits like physical features, intelligence, and innate abilities.
Environment (family, school, community) shapes how that potential is expressed through learning, experiences, and care.
A child with good genes needs a supportive environment to develop fully. Similarly, a rich environment cannot compensate for severe genetic limitations.
Different areas of development are influenced more by one factor than the other. For example, physical growth is strongly hereditary, while language and social skills depend more on environment.
Therefore, it is incorrect to say that genes alone decide ability, or that environment can cure all genetic disorders, or that environment matters only for language.
Answer:Option A: Certain aspects of development are influenced more by heredity and others more by the environment.
