Answer 1

Nature is the genetic makeup structure which determine our traits and our dominant physical features such as height, hair color, eye color. Nurture is the way our environment shapes us. Research has shown that monozygotic twins rared apart shared similar personality and intelligence than fraternal twins, which mean that genes can determine our personality and intelligence to certainly extent. Adoption Studies have shown environment to play a role in shaping personality and intelligence in the early years of ones life.

Both nature and nurture have an influence on our behavior, and interact with each other..There are so many factors which influence are behaviors that it is difficult to identify and isolate a few. The behavior of an individual can be seen as outcome of very complex interaction of the genetic and environmental forces.
