Bending comes from within, something you can learn, anyone can learn.
Like with everyone though some people persue other pursuits.
It is unclear why some can bend and others cannot.
It's possible that they just don't feel in tune with the element or don't respond well to training.
If you noticed, throughout the series they learned new techniques- bend the plants, suck out the water for use, expand the water to turn into ice, and things like that.
Then they learned stranger things, like shooting out lightning and bending metal.
Toph could see through the ground but hardly any other earthbender, even ang, ever used that technique- he didn't even learn to use metal bending.
Then, they learned to bend from the sun, some from the moon, some from all kinds of sources. You saw different styles throughout the series and it wasn't the technological limit but the mental one that stopped them. It is the being possessed by hundreds of people who've gained wisdom from the hundreds before them that gave the people their power., the knowledge, not necessarily any type of inherent ability.
In that way it was knowledge. You rarely see cross people becuase the nations were always separate, isolated, on purpose- in these days and age, it's not anymore. As well, if you notice there are more airbenders- why? All the air nomads were wiped out. Ang would have had to be pretty prolific to produce that many children. It is likely he gave them powers, being able to bend the bending of others.
In that way the bending of others may be warped, or it may be some kind of inner spiritual thing- Ang was very spiritual. More or less, it is spirit that gives hem power- throughout the series sokka was very down to earth, while Ang was more about magic and personal feeling and stuff.
It is belief and spirit that gives rise to the power, and more importantly training and grasp of what is possible, along with flawless execution.
While Sokka was good with his boomerang, he may just have been bad at getting the right moves, as evident by a lot of his fighting. He also lacked the spiritual side of things.
"Genetics" really has nothing to do with it.
You just got to believe.
