Interaction of Heredity and Environment Practice Test

Shared environment and socialization likely contribute substantially to variation in political attitudes within that population, though genetics may still matter.

Heritability misuse: this means political attitudes are 0% genetic for each adoptee, so genes can never influence attitudes anywhere.

Genetic determinism: political attitudes are inherited, so resemblance to adoptive parents must be coincidence or measurement error.

Wrong method: this proves adoptive parenting causes political attitudes because adoption studies always establish causation conclusively.
