Your question is incomplete because you have not provided the answer choices which are:

a. Personality appears to be a polygenetic characteristic.

b. Personality characteristics are learned.

c. Personality characteristics are influenced by genes.

d. Personality characteristics appear to be recessive.

Answer:

c. Personality characteristics are influenced by genes.

In that respect, they are highly determined biologically and transferred from parent to child. As a consequence, José's personality characteristics are inherited from his biological mother.
