Answer 1

Answer: gene-environment interaction

Step-by-step explanation:

Schizophrenia is a disorder associated with the psychology and mental make up of the person. The person interprets the reality abnormally. This is associated with hallucination, disordered behavior and delusions.

The gene and the environmental interaction both play an important role in development of this disorder. The environment factors like stress can be dominant over the gene expression. If a person has genes for development of schizophrenia along with the stressed environment then the chances of development of schizophrenia will be prominent.
