Best Answer

I wouldn't say that it is but it seems like it might be. A lot of other "things" that make us up are genetic. My family for instance has only had boys born to them for approximately 10 generations. Meaning that a man from my family went and married a woman and had kids, but all of their kids were boys. Their boys then got maried and had all boys and so on and so forth. So I think it might be a good assumption to say that gender is genetic because no other answer seems very plausible.
