What characteristics does the baby inherit from his parents?

When looking for a partner, look for someone who is good-looking. This is not only pleasing to the eye, but is also very helpful in nurturing the next generation. Because the baby's genes mainly come from the father and mother, if the father and mother are good-looking, the baby born will not be too ugly. As for the parents, what basic characteristics do the babies inherit from their parents?

1. Height

Seventy percent of a person's height is determined by genetics, and thirty percent is determined by acquired factors. In other words, if the parents are tall, the chances of the baby being tall are 70%.

2. Fat or thin

People with low metabolic rate are very easy to gain weight, and the metabolic rate is also determined by genetic factors. If the parents' body shape is the type that is prone to gaining weight, the baby will be more likely to gain weight. If one of the parents is fat, the baby's chance of becoming fat is 30%; if both parents are fat, the baby's chance of becoming fat is more than 50%, so attention should be paid to balanced nutrition after the baby is born.

3. Skin color

Skin color follows the natural law of "multiplication and then averaging" in inheritance, leaving people with no choice, so the baby's skin color is generally a combination of the parents' skin colors. For example, if both parents have dark skin, then the baby will never have fair skin; if one parent has dark skin and the other has fair skin, then the baby will have a neutral skin color that is neither dark nor fair.

4. Five senses

Your baby's eyes, nose and ears will also be influenced by the genes of his parents. Eye size, double eyelids, eye color, and even eyelashes are all hereditary. As long as one of the parents has big eyes, the baby is more likely to have big eyes. As for the inheritance of the nose, a large and high nose with wide nostrils is dominant. As long as one of the parents has a straight nose, the baby is likely to have a straight nose. Ears are mainly inherited in terms of shape. As long as one of the parents has big ears, the baby is likely to have big ears.

5. Lifespan

If there is an example of longevity in a family, then the baby is likely to live a long life as well. At the same time, life expectancy is also affected by the environment and cannot be judged entirely based on family examples.

Babies will have many similarities with their parents, and many of their characteristics are related to their parents' genes, but they are not 100% similar to their parents. All the characteristics listed above are just examples. After all, the mystery of genetics has not yet been fully solved by humans.
