Why don't children look like themselves

Many parents will find it strange that children look good when they are born, but when they are a few years old, they become more and more ugly. Parents have good genes, but the longer their children grow, the less they look like themselves.

What characteristics of babies are affected by heredity?

1, skin color, neutral color of parents' skin color

In life, I often hear pregnant women say that eating more fruits, milk, bird's nest and other foods can make the baby's skin white and tender, especially parents whose skin is already dark will be more worried about the baby's skin being too dark. In fact, the child's skin color has been set from the beginning. If both husband and wife are white, the baby's skin will be white. On the contrary, if both husband and wife are dark, the child's skin is darker. Because children's skin color and parents' skin color are genetically neutral.

2. Eyes and eyelids are influenced by both parents.

Many people want their children to have big eyes and good-looking double eyelids, which will make their faces look much taller. If both parents have single eyelids, then the child born is single eyelids, but if one parent has double eyelids, then the child has a great chance of double eyelids. So are the eyes. If one of the parents has big eyes, then the children's eyes are generally bigger because the genes of big eyes are very strong.

3, chin, very obvious dominant inheritance

Chin is an obvious dominant inheritance, and we often see that children around us are strikingly similar to their parents' chins, just like a mold. Especially if one parent has a sharp chin, it is very easy to pass it on to children.

4, height, parents each inherited 35%

70% of our height is inherited from our parents, of which 35% is influenced by our mother, 35% by our father, and only 30% can be changed through diet or exercise.

5, baldness, passing on men and not passing on women

There are many bald men around us, but I believe few people will see bald women. This is because baldness is generally passed from men to women. If the father is bald, then the boy born has a 50% chance of baldness.

6, fat and thin, half of them are inherited by parents.

If both parents are thin, most children are thin; If both parents are fat, the probability of a child being born fat is as high as 53%. The acquired environment and diet have a great influence on children's obesity. If both parents are fat, you can control your weight by changing your child's diet and exercise habits.
