Which of the following best summarizes the relative importance of nature and nurture in our development?

Genes (nature) determine our physical traits, while nurture affects the development of our psychological and behavioral traits. Nurture is the primary influence on our overall development. Genes only set the stage, and from the moment of birth nurture takes over. The relationship between the two is reciprocal. In other words, our genes set the stage for our development; nurture affects the manifestation of those genetic influences. Nurture, in turn, affects genes.
