Most definitely. There is a link between genetics and nearly every characteristic of organic anatomy. Genetics tells all of our chemistry how to work together, not just specific things. The only things considered unaffected by genetics are environmental effects. Someone may have no hair because they have a genetic defect, or they may have just shaven it all off.

In a way it is. You are genetically predisposed to have more of type I or type II fibers. Although, you can train to increase the amount of either types of fiber, you can only convert up to a certain amount of fibers.
