    Default Genes Your Parents Gave You

    How much do you look like your parents?

    My dad has brown eyes and my mom has blue eyes and I ended up with green eyes. Don't know how that happened. My dad has black hair and my mom has brown hair and I was born with blonde hair so I also don't know where that came from (although both of them had naturally blonde hair in their youth). My skin is also a bit fairer than either of my parents, and I've been asked before if I'm albino -_-

    However, I do have an extra bone in my foot, courtesy of my dad. And I also have a big nose that looks just like my dad's too. I have the same wavy, fluffy hair as my mom. I also think my general facial structure resembles my dad's quite a lot. I think I got way more stuff from him than my mom

    I look eerily similar to both of my parents, just depends on who I'm with at the time. I think I resemble my dad just a bit more. I got his beady eyes, pig nose, and square yet vaguely receding hairline.

    I look more like my dad, I guess? I have a round face, brown hair, brown eyes, and I'm 5'6". My mom has a square face, blonde hair (before she died it) and green eyes, and is about 5'3". My dad apparently had brown hair and eyes. He was very tall though. I guess I get ome of my height from my mom, because although I'm not as short as her, I'm the second shortest woman in my family and my dad was about 6'3". Also, I have the Bourbonnais nose that everyone in my family has, except my mom and now my son.

    My mom is super pale with blonde hair and blue eyes.

    My dad is pretty dark with black hair and brown eyes. (He's got Hispanic/Native American heritage)

    So I am fairly pale but with dark brown hair and brown eyes.

    I really don't look anything like either of my parents though. My mom did pass on all of her weird recessive genes to me so I've got the connected earlobes, the inability to taste certain bitter tastes, the inability to curl my tongue and so forth. And I got my dad's weirdly shaped teeth

    All my genes came from my mum and dad. Weird, huh?

    I got uh. Let's see... My sarcasm came from both of my parents.

    No really though... I look more like my dad I think, but everything came from my grandmother. My hair, big boobs, yep. The things that matter. Heh.

    Green eyes : both
    Dark brown hair : mom
    Red haired beard : dad (really ?)
    Height : not my mom, she's 5'2 and I'm 6'1

    When I look at pictures of father in his youth, it's my face I see. I'm a clone

    I got my fathers tall frame, dashing looks, and sharp wit, and my mother's gentle nature and luscious lips. I'm the whole package, sugarcup. *wags eyebrows*

    I am my mother's doppelganger. The spitting image if her. When I was little, I found photos of her as a child and became so confused because I thought they were of me but I didn't know anyone else in the photos or remember when they were taken. Figure, hair, eyes, freckles, feet, hands, boobs (thank god - two of my sisters weren't so lucky) and chin are all from my mama. She looks damn good for her age and is in the best shape of her life! I can only hope I look like she does at 46.

    I have my father's personality, sense of humor, interests, curiosity, mannerisms, bad habits and emotional and mental unbalances (see: anxiety and self-isolation).

    Pretty sweet combination between the two of them. I'm happy to have my mother's looks and my dad's everything else.

    I take that back...

    Apparently Roseanne is actually my mom. The bf says I act exactly like her.

    As a kid I looked almost exactly like one of my mom's brothers.
    Now I look veeeeeeeeeery like my dad's brother.
    How the smurf does that happen? I got my blond hair and blue eyes from both my parents though.

    I have naturally curly hair. Nobody in the past three or four generations in my family has had curly hair.

    I don't really look like my parents, but I resemble my mother vaguely.

    Mom: Nose, teeth, eyes, hair color (we both have brown hair with red streaks for some reason underneath the brown)
    Dad: My arms I think? They're really long and oddly muscular and no I don't lift bro. Face shape, I believe my dad's, but my face is more oblong.
    Both: My height, hmph

    I have probably more resemblances to both of my grandmothers which is even odder. It's not like my siblings really look like either of my parents either so they must both have recessive genes.
