Genetics determines the amounts of different fat burning hormones (epinephrine, norepinephrine, glucagon and adrenocorticotropic horomone) your body produces and the presence of receptors of those hormones in your body. Genetics also determines where the fat will be stored and where it will be burnt from more.
In men generally fat deposition takes place around the abdomen and it is more difficult to lose fat from that area. So for most men they have to come down to a body fat % of 10 or lower to see definition on the abs. For women, since more fat is found near the hips and thighs a fat % of 14-15% will be enough to have good abs

well, some people are born with higher metabolism's (which can reduce the fat to muscles ratio) and some are just born with a tendency to be thin,, which makes their abs show if they work out,,,,,,,,,in the long run, i think exercise has more to do with it, then genetics, as you can be thin, less body fat,,,, and still not have developed abs,,,, genetics just helps if you do work out
