heredity and environment
heredity defines
1 ____ establish(es) what you could be, and 2 ____ define(s) the final
product. people often argue about whether human behavior is 3 ______ (due to heredity)
or 4 ____ (due to environment). 5 ____ is the genetic transmission of
characteristics from parents to their offspring. in the nature—nurture question, 6 ______
refers to environmental factors, such as family, culture, education, and individual experiences;
7 ______ refers to the characteristics that a person inherits—his or her biological
makeup.
8 ____ __ ____ became one of the first to
preach the importance of nature in the modern era. he found that success ran in families and con-
cluded that heredity was the cause. many psychologists, however, have emphasized the importance of
the environment. the tone was set by 9 ____ ____, the founder of
behaviorism.
genes build and modify the body’s physical structures, which must then interact with their
environment to produce 10 ______. one way to find out whether a trait is inherited
is to study twins. 11 ____ ____ develop from a single fertilized egg
(thus they are called 12 ____) and share the same genes. 13 ____
____ develop from two fertilized eggs (thus, 14 ____), and their genes
are no more similar than those of brothers or sisters.

Explanation:

The problem is about filling blanks related to heredity, environment, and human behavior, which falls under Psychology (a subfield of Social Science). We analyze each blank:

1. For blank 1, "heredity" (or "nature") establishes potential, blank 2 "environment" (or "nurture") defines the final product.
2. Blank 3: "nature" (due to heredity), blank 4: "nurture" (due to environment).
3. Blank 5: "Heredity" is genetic transmission.
4. Blank 6: "nurture" refers to environment.
5. Blank 7: "Genes" (or "heredity") refer to inherited biological makeup.
6. Blank 8: "Sir Francis Galton" preached nature's importance.
7. Blank 9: "John Watson" founded behaviorism.
8. Blank 10: "behavior" is produced by genes - environment interaction.
9. Blank 11: "Identical" twins from single egg.
10. Blank 12: "monozygotic" (for identical twins).
11. Blank 13: "Fraternal" twins from two eggs.
12. Blank 14: "dizygotic" (for fraternal twins, though sometimes "fraternal" is used, but "dizygotic" is the technical term here).
