If you think back a moment to science class, you probably remember some discussion about genetics. They talk about the possibility and percentages associated with passing certain traits onto future generations. It includes some genes that are recessive and others that are dominant, but the end of the story is that we do pass those traits along to our children and grandchildren. Sometimes, you may not be able to notice it quickly but at other times, it shows quite clearly when you look at the parent and child. It may even show up in different ways, but it certainly shows up.
When you look at yourself in the mirror, do you see some of the features that were inherited from your parents? Perhaps you can see your mother looking back at you from the mirror or you may see certain aspects of your father that show up on your face. As you look down through the 17 pictures below, you will see that the children are not only close to their parents, they are practically carbon copies. It really shouldn’t come as a surprise that it happens in this way but one thing is certain, it does happen very frequently.
