Which best describes how genetics and environment interact in child physical development?
Genetic traits determine all aspects of a child's physical growth regardless of environment.
Genes determine intellectual capacity while environment dictates height and weight gain exclusively.
Genetics set potential limits on growth, but environmental factors influence whether those limits are reached.
Environment plays no role if strong genetic traits dominate a child's growth pattern.
