Influence of Heredity 
and Environment
Introduction
Heredity
The genetic traits passed down from 
parents to children, including physical 
characteristics, intelligence, and 
behavioral tendencies.
Environment
The surroundings and experiences that 
shape an individual's development, 
including family, education, and social 
interactions.
Combined Impact
Both heredity and environment work 
together to influence a child's learning, 
behavior, intelligence, and character 
development.

Heredity: Meaning and 
Definition
1
Genetic 
Transmission
Heredity is the passing of 
genetic traits from parents to 
offspring, including physical 
characteristics like eye color, 
hair color, and body type.
2
Ancestral 
Influence
As defined by Peterson, 
heredity encompasses what 
one inherits from their 
ancestral stock through their

Role of Heredity and Environment in 
Development
1
Heredity
Transfer of physical and mental traits from parents to offspring through 
chromosomes.
2
Environment
All physical and social factors affecting child development, including home, 
family, school, and society.
3
Combined Influence
Both heredity and environment play equally important roles in shaping 
human nature and development.

Parental and Teacher Roles
Parents can influence both heredity and environment, while teachers 
primarily impact the environmental aspect of a child's development.
