Hi Iris, good question!

Passive influence of genes refers to the correlation between a person's environment and their genotype. For a child, this means that their environment is influenced by their parents' genes, which makes this a passive influence of genes. Evocative influence refers to genes influencing a person's behaviour in a way that evokes a reaction from the environment and thus has an influence on their development. Lastly, active influence of genes refers to a person's preference for an environment being influenced by their genes. For example, a person who is extraverted would typically choose social environments. 

Hope this explains it a bit!
