    Genetics, I can understand. But lifestyles? How?

    Certain genetic mutations or chains of DNA can produce traits or characteristics a person exhibits, and can be hereditary.

    Like diabetes, addiction, the way you and your dad have the same humor, natural abilities or inclination towards a subject, food allergies,

    These traits could dictate a lifestyle, somewhat loosely defined .
