Hi,
Biology homework!!!
Questions: Do genetics or Nature effect our characteristics and what we will be good at???
eg) Could you produce and Olympic champion by long term training or is this ability naturally controlled by genes?
Thanks so much
The homework is in for tomorrow
I just need points for a class debate. I am on the 'FOR GENETICS' side.

well it is actually a bit of both, because it depends on what you eat, where you live, if you smoke etc. but also genes carry information about how tall or muscly you can be, all though they can also be affected by the environment.
If you were for genes, i would argue that you can get certain features passed on from your parents.
