Native children: who looks like someone

From the very moment, as soon as it becomes known about the origin of the conception, the life of the future parents is drastically changing. It is not in vain that the miracle of the birth of a new life is called the greatest miracle: no parent participates in the planning of sex, external data and spiritual qualities of the future person. And yet, every new person is unique in the set of one, the other and the third. It is unique, although the question of who the child looks like in different variations ("poured out dad!", "Mom is not there!") Will continue to haunt new parents for a long time. As if on this depends on what will be his life.

Is it possible to predict the life of an infant?

Astrologers say that - yes! And sometimes they are right. The question is, does anyone need to know what his child is waiting for in the future? It seems fair to still believe that there will be something that will be, and nothing else. But to know who will be born, who will look like, what hereditary signs and family talents will show with time - this, at least, is interesting. And, knowing this, you can plan the educational process. In fact, the education of the choleric is very different from the education of the sanguine person, and the apple from the apple tree, as you know, falls not far, and if the father of the son is good-natured and calm, the likelihood that the son will grow up is the same phlegmatic.

It is not necessary to guess, it is better to know exactly

How to find out who the child will look like: to dad, mom or a second cousin From Ulan-Ude? Actually, the knowledge of the school course of biology and the basics of genetics will be enough to try to "figure out" who will be born to whom. Only ... Be ready to accept with humor all the discrepancies of reality with the forecast. And then the fashion went - just that to drag my beloved on the DNA test, and even straight to Channel One, so that for sure the whole world knew that you had a misunderstanding. Do not forget, please, that in any rule there are exceptions, and if it is not clear who the son or daughter is like, you can simply accept for the fact that you have an exceptional child.

In general, there is a theory that beloved daughters always look like dads, and sons - on moms.

Does science confirm this fact? And is it true?

Only in part. Boys are often born like mummies. Why? It is explainable. As we remember from the lessons of biology, a born girl can boast that her father and mother borrowed two X-chromosomes, which in some way provides the probability that the baby can be similar to both mother and father. Therefore, it is unambiguous to decide who the girls are like, even when it is born, it is difficult. And to predict this without reliance on other knowledge in general is an ungrateful task.

With boys, a slightly different story. With a high degree of probability, it can be argued that the son will look (externally) to his mother. Why? Because from his mother he borrows the X chromosome, and from the pope - the Y-chromosome. And the mother of the X-chromosome, praise to the Creator, is programmed to be responsible for the external features of a person. Therefore, boys are often born like mothers. Although also not 100%, of course.

For example, facial features can be maternal, and eye color - paternal. And understand here who looks like someone.

I wonder what kind of eyes a new person will have?

This question can be answered almost unequivocally: the darker the eye color of the parent, the more likely that the son or daughter will inherit this particular color - the dominant one.

But here too there are options. For example, Daddy has beautiful brown eyes. And mommy is a blue-eyed blonde. In this situation, the child's eyes will be brown by about 75%. Why not 100%? Because each parent has two genes. And it is not at all a fact that both father's genes do not carry the information that was lost in his family from the blue-eyed ancestor. The combination of genes is unpredictable, dear moms and dads!

But if both of you are blondes with gray or blue eyes, then almost certainly your children will also be blue-eyed or gray-eyed. Sort out then, as you like, who looks like someone.

And who will grow in height?

With what growth will be born a person, decide a little easier. Existing in this range of genetic rules with almost no exceptions. The options are as follows:

• If both parents are tall, their children will also be tall. It is quite It is likely that even higher than the highest of them.
• If both parents are short, almost certainly the child will not outgrow any of them. However, there is a very low probability that it will be lower than the lowest parent.
• If one parent is higher than another, then the growth of the child, as a rule, stops at the level of the average between mom and dad.

And in general, dear moms and dads, is it really so important who looks like someone outwardly ?! Much more important is whether a born person will be happy. And, if we program its growth, the color of the eyes and the density of the head of hear we can not, then we can grow it understanding the meaning of life and knowing the value of our happiness can. Unless we do not waste our and his forces on the empty.
