I'm learning about genetics in school, and I was wondering how genetics affect our everyday lives.<|im_end|>

Genetics play a significant role in our everyday lives. For example, they influence our eye color, hair color, height, and even some of our health conditions. They can also affect how we respond to certain medicines.<|im_end|>

That's really interesting. Can genetics also affect the foods we like or dislike?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, genetics can influence our taste preferences. Some people may be more sensitive to bitter tastes due to their genetic makeup, which can affect the foods they like or dislike. However, it's also important to note that our environment and personal experiences play a big role in shaping our food preferences.<|im_end|>
