Who does a boy inherit his looks from?

Under normal circumstances, many people believe that boys will look more like their mothers when they are born. Although this is true in most cases, there are many boys in real life who look like their fathers. So who a boy looks like depends on who has stronger genes. Below, we will introduce in detail the genetic knowledge about your baby’s appearance for your reference.

Skin color: It always follows the natural law of “multiplication and then averaging”, leaving people with no choice. If the parents have darker skin, they will never have children with fair skin; if one parent is fair and the other dark, the children will most likely have a "neutral" skin color, but there are also cases where they are more biased towards one side.

Eye shape: A child's eye shape and size are inherited from his or her parents. Big eyes are dominant over small eyes. If one of the parents has big eyes, the likelihood of having a child with big eyes is higher.

Double eyelids: Double eyelids are dominant traits. A baby born to a parent with single eyelids and a parent with double eyelids is very likely to have double eyelids. But if both parents have single eyelids, the children will generally also have single eyelids.

Eye color: Dark colors such as black are dominant over light colors. That is to say, if one person has black eyes and the other has blue eyes, their children will not have blue eyes.

Eyelashes: Long eyelashes are also dominant. As long as one of the parents has long eyelashes, the child is very likely to inherit long eyelashes.

Nose: Generally speaking, a large, high nose with wide nostrils is a dominant trait. If one of the parents has a straight nose, there is a high chance that it will be passed on to the child. The genetic genes of the nose will continue into adulthood. A short nose in childhood may become a high nose in adulthood.

Ears: The shape of the ears is hereditary, with large ears being dominant over small ears. If one of the parents has big ears, the child is very likely to have big ears as well.

Jaw: It is a dominant trait that cannot be "negotiated". If either parent has a prominent large chin, their children will often have a similar chin without exception, and the resemblance may be a little uncanny.

Obesity: Children have a 53% chance of becoming obese. If one of the parents is obese, the probability of the child being obese drops to 40%. This shows that about half of whether a child is fat or not can be determined by human factors. Therefore, parents can make themselves fit through a reasonable diet and adequate exercise.

Baldness: The Creator seems to favor women and only allows baldness to be passed on to men. For example, if the father is bald, there is a 50% chance that the trait will be passed on to his son. Even the mother's father will leave a 25% chance of baldness to his grandchildren.

Leg shape: Legs that are similar to those of parents with fat accumulation can be shaped into long and strong legs through sufficient exercise. However, if the legs appear too long or too short due to genetics, there is no way to reshape them and you can only leave it to nature.
