The study of how genes and environment interact is called epigenetics.

Epigenetics refers to changes in a gene that change his activity and expression, changes that are not due to mutations but to external or environmental factors.
Our intelligence depends on predisposition and the environment.
Our genetic predisposed is not going to change over time but the type of life we lead also affects intelligence.
