There could be various ways in which heredity and environment influence intelligence score of a person.

Explanation:

According to the psychologists and researchers, heredity and environment play an important role in the intelligence of a person. It says that an individual's intelligence depends on both the factors i. e, genetics or heredity factor (inherited from parents) and environmental factors (experience). Therefore, it has been studied that environment can have both negative or positive impact on a person's intelligence score, for example, if a person studies in a good school then he or she might have good communication skills as compared to the child who has studied in not so good school.
