I know we are greatly influenced by the environment we are born into and sometimes become gamblers because of where we find ourselves, i also considered the possibility of gambling being hereditary and found out that it is also possible, that is
gambling can be hereditary ,
Gambling is linked to a gene that is passed on through generations and a new study claims that it is passed on to both sons and daughters alike.
I was going to argue a lot on this as I don't agree that gambling can be genetically transferred but the study don't exactly claim that it is too. Having no specific gene for gambling simply notifies the study! Gambling is a behavioural change and this is highly influenced by our environment. Genes are traits for certain characters and depending on which one that becomes dominant on the locci of a homologous, they become expressed. Nothing ouiltosde of a gene can be transferred and not having gambling behaviour associated with a particular gene simply means, its not hereditary.
It's a behavioural change as children learns to mimic and adapt to whatever behaviour they see common around them. The study as in OP confirms that as samples were behavioural examination without conducting any experiments on genes for this behaviour.
