Answer 1

People are most likely to be successful when their environment matches their genetic strengths.

Explanation:

The relation between the genetic and environmental factors that may affect a person as they grow up and may influence the evolution of their behavior or the so-called nature-nurture debate has been going on for years. With no side getting a clear result, the studies are mostly limited to a subject as it depends on the person being considered.

The environment may or may not affect the person’s conclusive behavior, and it cannot conclude that it will be the same for every other person. What one can be sure of though, that if the environmental factors go in hand with the genetic strengths, it promotes and grows the genetic factors, which is much more likely to make a person successful.
