Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gene-environment interaction refers to the way in which a person's genetic makeup (genotype) interacts with their environment to produce observable traits and characteristics (phenotype). Therefore, option B is the best choice. Option A is incorrect because genotype refers only to an individual's genetic makeup. Option C is incorrect because heritability refers to the proportion of variation in a particular trait or characteristic that can be attributed to genetic factors. Option D is incorrect because attribution refers to the process of assigning causes to behavior or outcomes.
