Kanisha and jamal receive their grades on thier physics midterms. kanisha got an a, but jamal got a d. "you must have the physics gene," jamal said. "i don't. i might as well not bother studying." jamal's attitude illustrates the idea of

a. genetic discrimination
b. genetic determinism
c. genetic handicap
d. genetic engineering

Jamal's attitude illustrates the idea of Genetic determinism.

Explanation:

Genetic determinism which is also called Biological determinism is the belief that human behaviour is controlled by an individual's genes or some component of their physiology, generally at the expense of the role of the environment, whether in embryonic development or in learning. It refers to the idea all human behaviour is innate, determined by genes, brain size, or other biological attributes.

Thus, Jamal saying, "I don't. I might as well not bother studying" illustrates the idea of Genetic determinism.
