3. Genetic differences are impossible to examine in anyone other than identical twins.

Answer 1

Q2: (b) Adoption studies.

This study involves adopted child's Intelligence and its relationship with their biological and adoptive relatives.

Q3. (b)

The genetic contributions to intelligence between groups cannot speak to genetic differences within a group.

Q4. Verbal reasoning; spatial reasoning

Researches have recently shown that females are more better in verbal reasoning while males are better in spatial reasoning.
