In contrast, Donald's parents notice that he has a high mathematical ability, and they promote an environment that increases his ability. This scenario is an illustration of ____. A. person-genotype correlation B. genotype-environment interaction C. genotype-environment correlation D. person-environment interaction

Answer 1

Answer: C. Genotype-environment correlation

Step-by-step explanation:

Genotype - environment correlations is the genetic differences due to being exposed to a certain environment.

There are three types of genotype–environment correlation.

Passive genotype–environment correlation refers to how a child inherit genotype form their birth parents and based on where they are raised.

Evocative (or reactive) genotype–environment correlation refers to how our genetical behaviour influence how people react to us.

Active (or selective) genotype–environment correlation refers to how we associate with the environment based on our genetic preferred behaviours for example a person who love sport will associate well with the environment that promotes such behaviour because they are inclined to that behaviour. This is the genotype environment correlation that is mentioned in this text above.
