Pronunciation: [d͡ʒɛnˈɛtɪkli] (IPA)

Genetically refers to traits or characteristics that are inherited or coded in an individual's DNA. Some synonyms for genetically include genetically determined, hereditary, innate, embedded in one's DNA, inherited, and genetically encoded. These words all suggest that a person's genetic makeup affects their physiology and behavior in some way.
