Describe three scenarios using Scarr's research illustrating how ones' genes may influence the environment

Include examples noting how a child's genes may influence the environment, how parent's genes may influence the environment, and how a child's genes may evoke a response from the environment.
What will be an ideal response?

A good answer would include the following key points:
• According to Sandra Scarr, the genetic endowment provided to children by their parents not only determines their genetic characteristics, but also actively influences their environment.
• Children tend to actively focus on aspects of their environment that are most connected with their genetically determined abilities. For example, a child who is musically inclined will gravitate to activities in the environment that focus on music, such as chorus or band. Alternatively, a child that is well coordinated and has advanced motor skills would be drawn to activities in the environment that allows the child to utilize his/her motor skills, such as organized sports.
• The gene-environment influence can also be more passive and less direct. For example, a parent who is artistically endowed, may provide opportunities in the environment for the child to engage in artistic activities.
• Finally, a child's genes may evoke certain environmental responses from the environment. For example, a very social, interactive child may cause parents to engage, smile and talk to the infant, more than they would if the child's temperament was more stoic and reserved.
