Heritability

My mother and I are good cooks. I think this is more hereditary because her mother was a good cook too. We do not have the same political views, however. She is more democratic and I am more of a conservative republican. I think that is environmental because this is how I personally feel.
I think genetics have to do with some of my traits, but I think that my environment has shaped me as a person more. I was baptized Lutheran, but I do not go to that church. I go to a Christian church with my grandmother on my dad's side. The environment has helped me be more social and outgoing as a person.
The exercises helped me realize that heritability has to do with all your traits and ones that you might have thought were your own.

    I think that, yes, we do inherit traits from our parents. However, it is our morals and personal experiences that choose whether or not we want to show these actions. My brother has bad problems with agression, as did I when I was his age. I honestly think that if my personal beliefs didn't stop me from always getting worked up over things, I would be a very angry person. We choose how we want to act. Our personality traits are our own.
