No. Some of your actions will depend on the genes you have inherited. However others will depend on environmental influences.

For example, two twins are separated at birth. They both have the same genes. They both have an inherited ability to sing. However, one grows up sounded by bugs, and the other lives in a city. The former will therefore not run away when presented with a spider; the latter will.

If you mean action as in your heart beat e.t.c., that is not your genes. Your genes define things like your hair colour, and your eye colour. The processes of your body develop naturally, unless, of course, you have inherited a genetic disease. That is the only instance in which genes will effect the action of these bodily processes.
