Question

Joyce and Tim both play piano. Joyce is the only member of her family who plays an instrument. Tim's father is a skilled guitarist, and his older sister plays violin. Joyce and Tim have taken piano lessons since they were six years old and plan to continue. Based on what you know about genetics and the environment, who will most likely become a more talented pianist?

Answer 1

If Joyce is the only member in her family who plays an instrument, she has less chances at becoming a more talented pianist than Tim. Because Tim's father and older sister are both musicians, he has the genes to become a more talented pianist, Therefore, it is Tim who will most likely become the more talented pianist.
