Answer 1

Answer:

Passive

Explanation:

Passive correlation can be defined as the way in which a child inherit a gene from his/her parent in which the child begins to act or behave exactly like the parents.

Passive correlation also means the relationship that exists between the child genotype which he inherit from the parent and the environment in which the child was been raised or brought up in which the heritable traits of the parent influence their family environment because of the relationship between the genotype a child inherits from his or her parents and the environment in which the child is raised. Parents create a home environment that is influenced by their own heritable traits because the gene or genotype the parent pass to the child often correlates with the environment.

Therefore according to the scenario it might best be described to be the result of a(n) PASSIVE G/E correlation because their is likelihood of the children to be academically successful if they inherit the Gene's of their parents.
