Furthermore, as Ma'ake noted, there's a big difference between something being "genentic" and something being "biological." Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but while everything genetic is, by definition, biological, not everything that is biological is genetic. Whether it's caused by external factors such as drug consumption, or is the natural result of embryonic mutations, there are lots of "biological" events that have nothing to do with the genes the developing embryo received from its parents.
Now, all of you people who really understand the subject can feel free to correct me.
