Dear MEL Topic Readers,
How much is academic achievement shaped by genes
How well did you do in exams in your school days? You might have done better on certain subjects than others or not as good as in certain times as other times. Then, which do you think influences more on academic performance, genetic or environmental factors, besides the effort, which could also be part of the two factors?
A study of 6,000 pairs of British twins shows that genes play a significant role to children’s test scores while environmental factors like school, teachers, friends and family influences proportionally over the course of childhood and adolescence.
Is this finding encouraging or not?
Enjoy reading and learn what genes do to test scores.
