As soon as a child is born, parents try to find similarities with themselves in him. Psychologists argue that it is the similarity that influences the emergence of that very special feeling of closeness, kinship and family.

Step 1
It is always easier for parents to determine external similarities, but more often different external characteristics are mixed in the most bizarre way. There are certain patterns here: for example, the gene that is responsible for dark eye color is "strong" or dominant, and, as a rule, if one of the parents has light eyes and the other has dark eyes, the strong gene is likely to win and the baby will be dark-eyed. But it is not worth prophesying about this with certainty, because sometimes it happens that children with dark eyes are born to light-eyed parents. This means that things are much more complicated, and all this does not rest on the notorious struggle between "strong" and "weak" genes. Or consider the question of hair color. If one of their parents has a "strong" gene for dark hair, and the other has a "weak" gene for light hair, then the child is likely to be born with dark hair. But his own children can already possess light ones, since they managed to get both genes from their parents, both "weak" and "strong". And the resulting "weak" genes may well interact with the same genes of the partner.
Step 2
Genetic studies show that the facial expressions of parents are inherited. Your baby can, just like you frown when he tastes something sour, just stick out his lower lip when he is offended, and open his mouth in surprise. This is not always due to the fact that children simply adopt mimicry, copying the expressions on their parents' faces. It turns out that even children who are blind from birth, who have no idea what mom and dad look like, inherit their facial expressions.
Step 3
There is no doubt about the fact that the character of the child is also determined by heredity. This has been proven by observing twins who are raised by different people in completely different conditions. With all this, such children have very similar characters. According to some reports, intelligence is inherited with a probability of up to 60%. But, of course, the character of a child is not only pure genetics, but also an equally important upbringing. After all, the characteristic features and talents inherent in nature need constant support and development, otherwise they will remain at an embryonic level. Consider musical talent as an example. People who can boast of an ear for music are four times more likely to have musically gifted children. But how many of them get serious about music at an early age? Genetic scientists also note that adopted children always adopt many of the character traits of their adoptive fathers and mothers.
