Moms, does your baby look a little more like you, or does he look like a little more like a dad?
For the baby's appearance, parents must hope that the baby can inherit the good-looking place.
Big eyes should be genetic, a high nose bridge should be worn, and long eyelashes should also be genetic.....
But when it comes to heredity, sometimes it really doesn't work out as we want.
Recently, Zhao Youting talked about his daughter's appearance for the first time on the show, which was a pity, which made netizens laugh crazy.
In the show, Huang Xiaoming, Jia Jingwen and Zhao Youting talked about the child's appearance and personality.
Alyssa Jia said that the two little daughters look like me, their personality is like their father, they look like their father, and their personality is like me.
Huang Xiaoming said that his son looks very much like him, and his personality follows his mother.
Huang Xiaoming was very well-behaved when he was a child, as well as a girl, but his son's personality is very skinny.
Hearing this, Zhao Youting asked: Doesn't my son look like his mother? Then why does my daughter look so much like me? How I wish she looked like her mother.

Seeing that Zhao Youting was full of helplessness, Huang Xiaoming comforted him and said: The genetics are different, she may look like a mother, and the children will change.
I have to say that Zhao Youting really hopes that his daughter can look like her mother, and the regret in her words is really real.
Many netizens watched the show and said:
Gao Yuanyuan also said in an interview that her daughter is a miniature version of Zhao Youting with pigtails. ”
"I also hope that your Zhao Youting's daughter is like her mother Gao Yuanyuan. ”
That's right, who called the child's mother Gao Yuanyuan, that's a look.
However, whether it's like a father or a mother, she is a little angel of her parents.
01
Daughters are like fathers, and sons are like mothers
This percentage is as high as 80%?
In the topic of Zhao Youting talking about his daughter, many netizens said:
"Most daughters are like dads and sons are like moms. ”
"Giving birth to a son like a mother, giving birth to a daughter like a father, the proportion is more than 80 percent. ”
So who will the baby look like?
02
How do you predict what your baby will look like?
Every expectant parent has predicted what their baby will look like.
In fact, it is difficult to accurately predict the appearance of children, but there are rules to follow, because some characteristics of parents are inherited from the division of labor to the baby!
So which ones will inherit from the mother? Which ones will inherit from the father?
First: Babies will inherit 6 characteristics of their mothers
● Hair color. In terms of hair color, the baby will inherit the dominant dominant phenotypic genes, and if the mother has dark hair, the baby will also have the mother's hair color.
● Hair texture. As with hair color, babies are more likely to inherit their mother's hair texture, and if mom has curly hair, your baby may also have curly hair.
● IQ. Sorry dads, a new study shows that baby intelligence is passed on to babies through mom's two X chromosomes and dad's one X chromosome, which can have an impact on the baby's intelligence level, which can be a good indicator of a baby's IQ.
● Left-handed. If the dad is left-handed, the baby may also be left-handed, but if the mother is left-handed, the possibility is multiplied.
● Temper. The baby's temper will be like that of the mother, although the acquired environment plays a role, but the role of genes is greater, and the mother's genes dominate.
●Sleep patterns. When tossing and turning, insomnia, or even when you like to take a nap, your baby will learn this from his mother.
Second: Babies will inherit 5 traits from their father
●Height. If the dad is tall, then the child's height will not be short.
● Dimples. If dad has dimples, there's a good chance that the baby will have dimples as well.
● Lips. If dad has plump lips, this will also dominate, and the baby may have the same lips as well.
●Tooth structure. Tooth structure and dental problems will be inherited, if the father has bad teeth, the baby may also have bad teeth, both parents' teeth will affect the baby's future teeth, but the father's influence may be greater.
● Fingerprints. No two people's fingerprints are the same, but in genetic traits, fingerprints do have a genetic component, and fingerprint patterns between father and son may not be exactly the same, but they are extremely similar.
What I want to say here is that the world of heredity is both stable and full of changes, and there will be many places like parents in the baby, but as an independent individual, the baby will also develop its own unique appearance based on the genes of father and mother.

Use explicit and implicit to analyze concretely
Is the baby more like dad or mom?
Double eyelids
Many mothers will have such doubts: My father and I have double eyelids, why does the baby have single eyelids?
Do you remember the pea hybridization experiment in biology class in high school? Let's recall that double eyelids also follow the laws of genetics, and they are inherited autosomally.
To put it simply, both parents have double eyelids, and there is a 1/16 probability of giving birth to a baby with a single eyelid. And if one parent has double eyelids and one parent has single eyelids, the probability of the baby having single eyelids will certainly be higher.
What if both parents have a single eyelid, then the probability that the baby will have a pair of Korean single eyelids is about 100%.
Why do so many newborns have single eyelids?
In fact, most babies are born with slightly swollen eyelids and single eyelids.
When the baby grows to about two months old, the swelling gradually subsides and the double eyelids are slowly revealed.
So don't worry, moms and dads, the baby's double eyelids need to be patiently waited to appear.
The "folk secret technique" of using a spoon to give a child a pair of eyelids does not help except to increase the probability of eye infection.
Xiaoshukubo
Many people find dimples cute and charming, but dimples are actually caused by some shortened cheek muscles.
The human face has a very rich expression muscle, which allows us to express various emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Some of some of some of the expression muscles will be shortened or adhered to, and when smiling, the muscles will tighten the skin, and the skin will become dimples above the corners of the mouth, which is often referred to as dimples.
Dimples are inherited as autosomal dominant as double eyelids, but because humans have very rich expression muscles and unpredictable variations, dimples may not occur even if they have a dominant gene.
However, with the development of plastic surgery technology, doctors can make beautiful dimples appear on people's faces by finely adjusting these expression muscles to mimic the natural formation mechanism of dimples.
Long eyelashes
Many parents want their children to have beautiful long eyelashes, but unfortunately, the length of eyelashes is also determined by genes. And, like double eyelids, it is also inherited in an autosomal dominant way.
Therefore, the length of the baby's eyelashes has long been predestined.
However, many parents listen to some home remedies and adopt various ways to "pull the hair to grow" and cut off the baby's eyelashes, but they don't know that there is a great risk in doing so.
Eyelashes are not as numerous as other hairs, but they are not small. In addition to the well-known aesthetic effects, there are also very important physiological effects:
- Eyelashes can reduce the speed of the wind and reduce the rate of evaporation of tears on the surface of the cornea.
- Eyelashes can block wind, sand and dust in the air.
Think about whether the camels in the desert have thick eyelashes.
Therefore, trimming your baby's eyelashes is very dangerous.
In addition to easily causing bacterial infections in the eyes, and during the pruning process, the baby is often unable to cooperate, and the blinking of the eyelids can easily hurt the cornea or conjunctiva, and may even cause serious injury.
For the safety of your baby's eyes, we strongly discourage cutting your baby's eyelashes unless medically necessary (e.g. trichiasis).
Big tall one
Heredity is the most important factor affecting height, such as the Yao Ming family. Yao Ming is 226cm tall, his wife Ye Li is 190cm tall, and his daughter Yao Qinlei is already over 160cm tall when she was 8 years old.
But genetics isn't the only factor that affects height.
According to estimates, 60%~80% of the difference in height is genetically determined, while the remaining 20%~40% is due to environmental factors such as acquired nutrition and exercise.
The average height of many post-00s junior high school and high school students in China is much higher than that of their parents at the same age, and the main reason is that nutrition has kept up.
Does the child's height follow the father or the mother?
Studies have shown that 697 genes are associated with human height variation. Therefore, height cannot be accurately deduced like double eyelids.
Finally, in addition to the above points of "appearance composition", the baby's skin color, face shape, etc. are also affected by dozens or hundreds of genes, and it is difficult to make accurate guesses.
What "eating soy sauce baby will turn black", "eating rabbit baby will cleft lip", all are rumors, except for making you feel salty and crying, it will not have any impact on the baby's appearance.
Genetics allows the child to retain some of the characteristics of the parents, while variation makes the baby a unique individual in this world.
All Mom and Dad have to do is four words:
Quiet waiting.
