There are primarily three types of co-relation between genotype and environment which are as follows –
a) Passive genotype –environment effect – This depicts the relationship between the genetic characteristics acquired by a child from his/her parents and the environment in which he/she is raised.
b) Reactive genotype –environment effect – This represents a relationship between genetically acquired behaviour from parents and the reaction corresponding to such behaviour.
c) Active genotype –environment effect – This represents a relationship between genetic tendency of an individual and the environment condition selected by an individual .
