Genetically speaking we are born with certain traits, predisposition to certain disease and personality. Can we adjust them? To a certain extent to nurture but more than likely genetics plays a more major role!!! Ok what do I win alex??? |

Both play an equal part.

Environment nope...i've been raising my granddaughter since she was 7 mos old...she saw her "mother" last wk for the first time in 16 mos...but she's always acted just like her mother... if you raised them both than you're the common nurture element sorry...clarification...she's my son's daughter well either way, if you knew her mother well enough as a child that you can comment that your granddaughter is "just like her" then you obviously played a part in her childhood and therefore can not say without a doubt that you did not play some part in her forming similar behaviors. If you didn't play that big of a role in the mother's life at that age than you actually have no way of knowing if your granddaughter is actually just like her mother. basically what I am saying is that you can not prove a theory one way or another based on your personal experience for a number of reasons. One, since you're in the situation you can not be an objective observer, and two, one example can not prove a theory. The most widely accepted answer is somewhere around a combination 60/40 but the side that has the 60 is still debated back and forth. (sorry I've written more papers on this topic than I can even count haha) nope never met the "mother" til he brought her home to meet me just before they were getting married |

You've just noticed similarities in how you perceive her mother. |

I'd say both play a part... but it is choice that truely defines who they will become. Genetics and environment will influence you... but you still choose how you will deal with each and every situation. Granted... this may not be easy to do, and some situations are tougher to control than others.
