I think it's a little bit of both actually. In general girls seem to be more apt to nurture their toys, which could by why they like dolls and stuffed animals. They seem to be able to bring them to life in their imaginations. Little boys on the other hand seem to have a harder time making that connection, and tend to see dolls as just another object (such as an object which needs to be taken apart immediately, starting with the head =P).
That said, kids will still gravitate towards the environment that they're given. Personally, I feel that a child's environment determines their personallity much more than genetics, it just takes longer to take hold.
