What characteristics did you inherit from your parents?

Below is a list of traits inherited from father to child:

• Eye Colour. Dominant and recessive genes play a role in determining eye colour of the child.
• Height. If the father is tall, there is more chance for the child to also be tall.
• Dimples.
• Fingerprints.
• Lips.
• Sneezing.
• Teeth structure.
• Mental disorders.

Why do you look different to your parents?

Hence the child gets new chromosomes, the genes in which contain a mix of both their father’s and mother’s genes. This is the reason that siblings from the same parents can sometimes look so dissimilar, because the set of genes in one person can be immensely different from the other, despite having the same parents.

How can there be better understanding between you and your parents?

Empathize with your parents.

1. Listen to what you parents are saying. Try to imagine what they are feeling and “put yourself in their shoes.”
2. Ask questions. This will make you more engaged in the conversation and let your parents know that you are listening.
3. Make yourself vulnerable.

How does parents affect your thoughts and action?

As a parent, you influence your child’s basic values, like religious values, and issues related to their future, like educational choices. And the stronger your relationship with your child, the more influence you’ll have, because your child will be more likely to seek your guidance and value your opinion and support.

Why do you have traits that are similar to that of your parents?

In humans, each person has two copies of each type of chromosome. That means they have two copies of each gene, but a person will give only one of these genes to their child. So children look like combinations of their parents because they are. Each parent gives half of their genetic material to their children.

What do you think are the characteristics or traits passed on to you by your family and immediate relatives?

Physical traits are dependent on the genetic material passed on by blood relatives. These traits are also called inherited traits because you inherit them from your parents, grandparents, and other ancestors.
