Many people are concerned about whether a child's appearance is inherited more from their father or mother. This question is very profound. The appearance of a child is genetically inherited, combining the chromosomes of both parents, and ultimately forming the fruit of love. So, who inherits most of a child's appearance? Next, let me take you to learn about it together.
Whose appearance do most children inherit
1. Skin color
Skin color is often inherited impartially, leaving people with no other choice. It always follows the natural law of "multiplying and then averaging", leaving the baby with the imprint of parents' "comprehensive color". For example, if you and your expectant mother have darker skin, you will never have a baby with fair and tender skin; If one of you is darker and the other is whiter, then during embryonic development, the baby will develop a neutral skin color that is neither black nor white.
2. Eyes
Shape: The influence of parents' eye shape on babies is evident. The shape and size of a baby's eyes are inherited from their parents, and having large eyes is a dominant inheritance compared to having small eyes. As long as one of the parents has big eyes, the likelihood of having a baby with big eyes will be higher.
Double eyelids: Generally speaking, if a person with single eyelids marries someone with double eyelids, their child is highly likely to have double eyelids. So, some children are born with single eyelids, and as adults, they will have double eyelids like their father's. But if both parents have single eyelids, most children will also have single eyelids.
Eye color: In terms of eye color, dark colors such as black are dominant inheritance compared to light colors. That is to say, if you envy blue eyed people and choose a blue eyed person as your lover, but because you have black eyes, the child you give birth to will not be blue eyed.
Eyelash: Long eyelashes are also inherited in a dominant manner. As long as one of the parents has attractive long eyelashes, the possibility of the child inheriting long eyelashes is very high.
3. Nose
Generally speaking, people with large, high, and wide nostrils exhibit dominant inheritance. If one of the parents has a straight nose bridge, there is a high possibility of passing it on to the child. In addition, the genetic inheritance of the nose will continue until adulthood, which means that people with short noses in childhood may still have the possibility of becoming tall noses in adulthood.
Why do newborn babies look like fathers?
Legend has it that almost all newborns are born like their fathers. This is an instinct for self-protection. Newborns use their appearance to announce to their fathers: I am your child, please take responsibility for raising me. As the months increase, the baby's appearance will undergo some changes, either continuing to resemble their father, mother, or both father and mother.
Although we cannot guarantee the accuracy of these statements, we believe that genetics determine who a baby looks like. So, which genes will parents pass on to their babies?
After reading the introduction in the previous text, do you have a better understanding. We have learned these knowledge in high school, and if we master them well, perhaps we will have a clear path in our minds. Meanwhile, pregnant women should remember to drink more hot water and eat less spicy and stimulating foods. Pay more attention to rest and avoid staying up late to work or watching TV shows. Finally, I wish you good health!
