Wen | Yuan's mother's parenting diary original, welcome to forward and share personally
On the issue of having children, what parents care most about is who is the child like? The mother conceived and gave birth to the baby in October, of course, she hopes that the child will look like herself; although the father has not suffered from pregnancy, he still hopes that the child will be more like himself.
A second-born mother posted the contrast between her daughter and her own skin color, and bluntly said that "if it is not born by herself, I can't believe it."
Indeed, Bao Mom's skin is fair, but her daughter's small hands are dark, and it is not too much to say that Africans are.
This is all because the daughter inherited the father's skin color, and the eldest brother inherited the mother's skin color, and the sister is obviously much whiter, which also makes the mother once again believe in the "daughter with the father, the son with the mother" statement.
However, compared to who the daughter follows, Bao Mom is more concerned about how to make the daughter white, the so-called white cover up the ugliness, this dark skin will definitely affect the girl's appearance.
Innate genetics cannot be changed, and if you want to make your baby white, you can only rely on the efforts of the day after tomorrow. In the diet, you can give the baby more vitamin-containing foods, which is helpful for whitening the skin tone, and put less salt and more water when making food.
In addition, there are many medications that may affect skin color changes, and you can consult a doctor before taking the drug. The most important thing about whitening is to prevent ultraviolet radiation, and this work should also be done well for the baby.
Wear a sunscreen hat and sunscreen clothing when you go out to avoid ultraviolet radiation to the greatest extent. If that's not enough, you can also apply sunscreen to your child when appropriate.
However, the skin of young children is relatively delicate, and choosing the right sunscreen is also an important task.
On the question of "who the child resembles", the more common statement is indeed that the son is like a mother and the daughter is like a father, and there seem to be many examples to prove this statement. Wang Zulan and Du Haitao in the entertainment industry seem to share a face with their mothers.
Xiao Shenyang and her daughter are more similar and more authoritative than paternity tests.
If it is true that a boy is like a mother and a girl like a father, how to explain the appearance of Qi Wei and her daughter Li Leqi? Who are the children like and who have nothing to do with gender, which ones will inherit mothers, and which will inherit fathers?
Probability of inheritance of sex chromosomes
We know that the child's appearance, skin color, etc. are determined by the genes-carrying chromosomes, of which the sex is determined by the father's chromosomes, because the mother gives the child the X chromosome.
If it is a girl, then it is the X chromosome from the mother and the X chromosome from the father; if it is the boy, then the acceptance is the mother's X chromosome and the father's Y chromosome.
The child receives half of the chromosomes from both parents, supposedly half like mom and half like dad. But scientists have found that the X chromosome carries more genes than on the Y chromosome, which means that although the father gave the X chromosome to his daughter.
But the X chromosome carries many important genetic genes, so the daughter is more like the father, and the son receives the mother's X chromosome, so the chance of the son being like the mother is greater than the chance of the daughter being like the father!
Genetics are also dominantly recessive!
Sex chromosomes cannot fully explain "sons like mothers, daughters like fathers", because genetic genes also have recessive and dominant characteristics. Leaving aside the child's sex, we only look at genes, and who the child looks like may depend on whose dominant gene is inherited.
If the child inherits more dominant genes of the mother, the corresponding shape will be expressed in the appearance of the child, and naturally looks more like the mother, and vice versa, it will be more like the father.
Although heredity is a scientific law, how to guess the child's approximate appearance and personality according to heredity is still impossible, after all, there are many factors that affect it. In addition to inheriting the genes of the parents, the growth environment of the child after birth will also change the characteristics of the original genes.
Therefore, parents should not only strive to give their children the best genetic genes, but also pay attention to the family environment, habitual behaviors and other factors that may affect their children after birth.
Accompanied by heart and cared for with love, no matter whether the child is beautiful or ugly, success or failure, parents are always the warmest harbor for children.
