This research suggests that in regard to students in school, 40 percent to 80 percent of the variance in IQ is linked to genetics.

Explanation:

The difference in the intelligence quotient evident among the school-going children has many factors behind the disparity that is observed. One of those factors is the genetics inherited by the children from their parents. It is found that the dependence of the intelligence quotient on genetics varies between 40 percent to 80 percent, and hence, the disparity that is observed can be said to have occurred.
