Bending is not genetics.

Its kind of like a baby is born with a certain personality and if it parallels to the element their parents are from, they can bend.

But its not like a certain personality. e.g. you can be like a peaceful pond or a raging tidal wave and still be a waterbender either way.

Also there were a set of twins in the Fortuneteller episode that were identical but only oone could bend. If it were genetic both would be able to.
