Solution

Hereditary factors set limits on personality traits, while environmental influences (like sibling rivalry) drive personality development.

Explanation:

Personality results from the interaction between hereditary factors (which set boundaries on intelligence, temperament, and physique) and environmental influences (like sibling relationships, peer interactions, and family stress). Both work together to shape who we become.
