Because of inherited genes
In a way that comes from the genes you are born with, not from your life or environment.
用法模式：
to be genetically [adjective]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes mix up "genetically" and "generally" because they look similar. "Genetically" is only about genes and heredity, while "generally" means "in most cases" or "usually." Also, avoid using the non-standard adjective *genetical*; the normal adjective is *genetic* and the adverb is *genetically*.
