Question

when a professional athlete has a child that also becomes a professional athlete, is that nature or nurture. Was the athletic ability passed genetically through birth or was it a behavior learned through countless hours of repetition and practice.

Answer 1

Answer:

According to MedlinePlus;

It is likely that a large number of genes are involved, each of which makes only a small contribution to athletic performance. Athletic performance is also strongly influenced by the environment. It is clear that both environmental and genetic factors play a part in determining athletic ability.
