Explanation / Answer

9. B. The evolutionary theory focuses on both genetic mutation as well as environmental factors which lead to adaptation and survival as causes.

10.C. Environmental influence on Personality traits can be best seen in comparing the traits between identical twins raised together ( similarity showing the effect of being raised in the same family environment ) with identical twins raised apart( greater similarity here would testify the role of genes rather than environment).

11. C. Infants’ temperament pertains to the level of their emotional excitability and physical activity in response to the environment.

12. A. Selectively bred foxes were found to have become docile with training.

13.C. Natural selection is an evolutionary theory concept that suggests that genes which help to ensure survival of the species will be passed on to the next generation.

14. C. According to evolutionary perspective on mate selection, females tend to underplay the bilateral symmetry of secondary sexual traits involved in mating.

15. C. Epinegentic theory focuses on the environmental conditions which are adequate for the emergence of a particular genetic characteristic as it looks for both nature and nurture factors.

16. A. Perception is the correct answer as it is the process of interpreting the primary sensory information gathered from the sense organs.
