Dad is short, Mom is short? Who inherits the child's appearance? The truth is not what you think

author:DrX said

Find an object to find a high point, in the name, for the genes of the offspring, but if the other party is successful enough, or the appearance can be beaten, as if the tall and short is not so important.

The son and daughter of the female star Zhang Mou, the facial features do not seem to have been inherited to his parents, were ridiculed by netizens, painful, and repeatedly debunked rumors.

Hello everyone, I am dr.x today to see the children's inheritance of those things, parental advantages you can inherit?

The first is skin color, which is the most objective in heredity. Generally speaking, the skin color of the parents is averaged. Black and white children are much whiter. For example, basketball star Steve Curry, whose father is black and his mother is white, his skin color is brown, even white, and he is often mistaken for white. Many of the descendants of black people are getting whiter and whiter. And Michael Jordan, whose parents are both black, is really dark-skinned.

Simply put, if the parents are black, then the child must not be white.

Heredity does have a very big impact on height, and sleep, exercise, and diet are relatively small. Yao Ming's father is 2 meters 08 meters tall, his mother Fang Fengdi is 1 meter 88, and Yao Ming has reached 2 meters 26. He also found Ye Li, who is 1 meter 90 tall, to marry, 8-year-old daughter Yao Qinlei has reached a height of 1 meter 65, even if he never exercises, stay up late every day, and eat picky food is taller than you.

I often hear, "Daddy is short, mother is short." In fact, most studies still show that the genetic influence of parents on their children's height is actually quite equal.

Some people are not fat when they eat, and some people are fat when they drink cold water.

This is also determined by genes, and the basal metabolic rate determines whether a person is prone to obesity. Studies have shown that one parent is obese, and the chance of the child getting fat is 30%. If both parents are obese, the chances of a child getting fat are 50%-60%. Fortunately, being fat and thin is easier to control than height, but if the whole family is fat, you want to become thinner, and the effort you pay is hundreds of times more than the whole family is thin.

Double eyelids: double eyelids have the effect of enlarging the eyes in vision, it belongs to the dominant genetics, as long as one of the parents is a double eyelid, the possibility of the baby being a double eyelid is very large. And if both husband and wife are single eyelids, then the child must theoretically be single eyelids. To put it simply, most people are double eyelids, and it is possible for a double to have a single, and it is impossible to have a single.

Some parents may wonder why the baby is a single eyelid? In fact, the growth and shaping of the eyes takes time, and whether the newborn baby has double eyelids is inaccurate, and it is generally determined until puberty.

He is not the neutralization of the parents' colors, such as black hair and blonde head, it may be black hair, it may be blonde hair, it may be both, several brothers of the same father and mother, there may be black, there is gold, there is also brown, a bit like opening a blind box!

From an aesthetic point of view, a tall and delicate nose is definitely a plus for a person's appearance.

Westerners have a high nose bridge, which is also dominantly inherited, so children of mixed Asian and Western descent often have a strong nose bridge. This is also an important reason why mixed-race children are considered good-looking!

In addition, the nose is the same as the double eyelids. It will not finally appear until adulthood, if both parents have a high nose bridge, although the child is not tall enough at birth, there is still a great chance of becoming a high nose bridge after adulthood.

At the same time, large ears (flared ears), long chins, small dimples, and long eyelashes, these features, like the high bridge of the nose and double eyelids, are all genetic. We often say that genes are strong and that the whole family looks alike. It is because of these dominant traits that no matter who you marry, the children born will inherit these dominant traits. For example, a family has a long chin, a family has a high nose bridge, a family is bald...

Unfortunately, in addition to appearance, in medicine, we are more concerned about the genetic odds of many diseases.

Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's and Alzheimer's disease, depression, obesity, and myopia are all diseases that have been shown to be genetically predisposed.

Parents are like mirrors of us, using their bodies to tell us what health risks there are in the future, and what reason is there not to pay attention?

Finally, I would like to say that the skin of the body is subject to the parents. In addition to passing on our appearance to us, parents are more about teaching us how to become people like them.

Maybe you have not inherited the best appearance of your parents, but elegant temperament, noble character, optimistic attitude, humble people, we can all get from our parents, and we can pass them on to our children.
