What would be a cool trait that should be genetically controlled but it is not?

The argument for nature v's nurture is still being held. We don't have any firm conclusion as to what traits are controlled by genetics and which are not. With out this information it is impossible to say any traits which "should be controlled by genetics but are not". Some people would say that all traits are genetic!

What is continuously varying trait?
A discontinuous trait is the opposite of a continuous trait. They are "either/or" traits that do not have any range. An example would be the sex of an offspring, whereas an example of a continuous trait would be haircolor, where many options are available.
Can clones never be human Why?
No humans have been cloned yet. Should a human ever be cloned, then presumably, the clone would be identical (genetically) to the original from which it is copied; thus, it would be a human.
What type of alleles does a carrier have?
A carrier is heterozygous for a given trait. They would display the dominant trait but still be able to pass the recessive trait to their children.
Choose an organism and predict a trait that would be helpful for its survival. Do you think this could be an evolutionary change What would have to happen for this trait to be expressed?
Yes
Why would you need a trait put in after a stroke?
why would you need a trait put in having suffering a stroke, and what are the possibilites of recovery after 4 years
What role does technology play in genetically modified food?
Without technology, there would be no genetically modified foods, because the technology to remove a gene or genes from one species and insert it into another to produce a desired trait would not be available.
What is the probability of having a child with an attached earlobe?
Whether or not the earlobe is attached is a genetically inherited trait and so you would need to look at earlobes in your, and your partner's, families.
What is meant by traits?
An acquired trait is a characteristic of an organism that developed after the organism began life. For instance, a limp from a broken leg is an acquired trait. In contrast, an innate trait is one that an organism had (or was genetically determined to develop) at the time the organism began life. An example of this would be a cat being born with a tabby-stripe coat pattern.
Is a widows peak a trait controlled by many genes?
A widows peak is controlled by one gene that is passed on from both parents. In this case lets say your parents both have a dominant allele for a widows peak(A) so in that case, you would have a 100% chance of being born with one.

What is polygeny?
Inheritance in which more than one gene pair affects the appearance of a particular trait. Polygenetic inheritance refers to the non-Mendelian form of inheritance in which a particular trait is produced by the interaction of many genes.
Did people in the Uchiha clan inter-marry?
This is actually a good question. Since the sharingan trait is genetically passed on through generations it means that it is possible for the clan to have inter-married to keep the genjitsu within the family. But i don't think they inter-married. The trait would still be passed on to offspring if a member of the clan married an outsider.

If bacteria in a colony are unable to perform conjugation how would this hurt the colony's chance for survival?
The colony would have less genetic variation. The Bacteria in the colony would be too genetically similar
