Some explanations of a passive genotype-environmental correlation make it sound like a child's genes necessarily match the genes of the parents. While this is likely, we all know that we don't always see eye-to-eye with mom and/or dad.

Can you give an example of a passive genotype-environment interaction that demonstrates this sort of disconnect? You'll need to begin by having a clear understanding of what "passive" means in this context.

Please remember -

1. It is not the genes that are interacting (or not) with the environment, but rather the phenotype. 2. "Passive" relates to the role of the child's genes here - they are not altering the environment.

Don't forget that subject line. And if I have completely confused you (I know I can!), please ask a clarifying question.
