8 physical characteristics of parents are definitely passed on to their children
Based on the laws of genetics, scientists have pointed out physical characteristics that parents will definitely pass on to their children.

Color
Normally, babies do not have a choice about their skin color. Their skin color will either be like their father or mother. Don't be disappointed, because the fact is that if both parents have dark skin, then the child will most likely have the same skin color and not be able to have the white skin that mothers always wish for. However, if the father is black and the mother is white, the baby's skin will definitely be like one of them and cannot have a neutral skin color.
Height
Height is not entirely inherited, but it is determined by genes 70% (35% from the father and 35% from the mother). That means that short parents will have a 30% chance of improving their height (through nutrition and exercise). The case of both parents being short but the child being as tall as a model is a rare occurrence in life.
Nose shape
If one of the spouses (or both) has a big, high nose, thick nostrils, etc., this trait will always be clearly passed on to the next generation. However, the shape of a child’s nose can change over time. If you see a flat nose when you are young, it may gradually become higher!
Chin
If the father or mother has a particularly prominent chin shape, for example, a large chin or a receding chin, then most of the children born will also inherit this chin shape.
Eyelid
This is an absolutely inherited factor from the father. The father's eyelids will be inherited to their children, even many babies when born do not have completely similar features to their father's eyelids, but over time will change and inherit this factor.
Bald
If the father is bald, the risk of the son being bald is up to 50% and even if the father is not bald but the grandfather is bald, the risk is still 25%. The most interesting thing is that baldness is hereditary but it seems that girls are not affected, only boys are more likely to go bald.
Obesity
Children will have a 53% chance of being overweight if their father or mother is obese. However, that probability has now dropped to 40% due to the awareness of many young parents. This shows that whether or not a child is fat can be completely changed and parents just need to feed their children properly and exercise enough to minimize the risk of obesity!
Acne
Few people know that acne is highly hereditary (in both boys and girls). If both parents have acne, the risk of the baby being born with acne is 20 times higher than in families with no history of this symptom.
In terms of intelligence, boys inherit their intelligence from their mothers. Meanwhile, girls inherit their intelligence from their fathers. This is because, in men, the genes that determine intelligence are mostly concentrated on the X chromosome and only scattered on the Y chromosome. As a result, there are very outstanding men but also those with very low IQs. Meanwhile, in women, the distribution of intelligence genes is more even, so there are not too many outstanding women but also not too incompetent women.
