Whom are you like?

who we are is a combination of our genetic blueprint (nature) and our environmental influences, particularly family (nurture). can you see the workings of nature and nurture in your own life? Do you look like/act like one of your biological parents? If you're adopted or have family members who were adopted, can you see the influence of both nature and nurture on personality? If you or your children had a parent who has been mostly absent from your/their lives, can you still see the genetic influence on behavior?

This is more a psychological question :) Nurture and nature have influence in our lives. Eg. if a child is born in a alcocholic family and the baby is taken away and given to a different family,and raised not knowing he was adopted, as the child grows it might too start to drink (alcocholic) ...
I do not exactly know what u r gaining at!!
