We often hear such a sentence in life: "Son with mother, daughter with father", many people think that this sentence is for the appearance of children, many girls look like fathers after birth, without DNA identification can know that this is father and daughter.
There are many boys who look very much like their mothers, but this is not absolute, there are also girls who look like their mothers, in fact, "sons follow their mothers, daughters follow their fathers" is not completely from the perspective of appearance, but from the perspective of genetic inheritance.
First, boys follow their mothers
Our family has two children, the eldest son Coke and the second daughter Guoguo, Coke is ten years old this year, Guoguo is eight years old this year, when Coke was just born, my mother and mother-in-law said that Coke looked like me, both big eyes and double eyelids and high nose bridge.
Guo Guo was very much like my husband after birth, she was a single eyelid, melon face, as she grew up, she had a mole on her eyebrows, almost the same place as the mole on my husband's eyebrows, which made me often lament the greatness of genes.
When Coke was a child, I gave him a school parent-child meeting, and several mothers in their class said that Coke and I were simply carved out of a mold.
Coke not only looks more like me, personality, height and other aspects of my genes, I am a liberal arts student, more like quiet, personality is more introverted, Coke with me, very quiet, do not like to talk, I only 160, husband has 185, is completely long legs, did not expect Coke in the same age children, height is also low.
When I was in school, I didn't like science, I was not interested in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology at all, my husband was a typical science and engineering man, a master of physics from a 985 university, after Coke went to school, the math score was very general, he preferred chinese, English and other subjects, every time Dad did physics experiments at home, GuoGuo would stand by and watch, and he was completely uninterested.
Guo Guo is the opposite of her brother, she has a very cheerful personality, many friends, her height is relatively high among girls, and she likes mathematics, does not like Chinese English, she is more like her father.
The difference between cola and fruit made me believe in the old man's often said saying "son with mother, daughter with father", and later I checked some information and came to the conclusion that in addition to looks, these three characteristics of boys will be more like mothers.
Second, these three characteristics of boys will be more like mothers
1. Height
The height of the child, the parent's genes account for one-half, in general, the height of the boy and the mother gene is closely inherited, the height of the girl and the father gene are closely inherited, if the father is high in the family, the mother is low, then the boy may be very low.
The colleague's son is 170 tall, the height of the colleague is 156, her husband's height is 183, and the colleague often complains to us that her mother-in-law suspects that the child inherits her height, which is difficult to find a daughter-in-law after that.
2. Appearance
Boys will inherit more mothers in appearance, if the mother has dimples, boys are likely to have dimples, if the mother has double eyelids, then boys may have double eyelids.
If the mother's skin color is whiter, then the skin of the boy who is born may be fairer, and if the mother is darker, then the skin of the child born may be darker.
There are also many examples of boys inheriting their mothers, such as Du Haitao and his mother, Yang Di and his mother are like carved out of a mold.
3. IQ
The IQ of boys will be inherited by the mother, the influence of heredity on intelligence accounts for about 50% to 60%, in terms of genetics, women have 2 X chromosomes, males only have 1, so the mother's intelligence is more important for heredity, if the mother is smart, then the child born will not be too stupid, if it is a boy may be more intelligent.
Girlfriend is an ordinary second-class graduated college student, in her words, she is not smart, can be admitted to the university is purely hard work, her husband is a key university undergraduate graduate, but also won several Olympic awards, it can be said that it is very smart.
When my girlfriend was pregnant, I always told me that I hoped that the child could inherit the father's IQ, but I didn't expect that the girlfriend's son Fanfan was completely a copy of the girlfriend, the child was not smart, it was particularly down-to-earth, writing homework was particularly serious, and the grades in the class were medium.
These characteristics of boys will be inherited from the mother, of course, these are not absolute, like height, appearance, skin color, IQ, etc., the child's acquired can also be cultivated, genetics may only account for seven points, and there are three points of acquired training.
For boys with their mothers, I don't know what you think?
