Scientists reveal which genes come from your mom and which you get from your dad
We are more like our fathers, and not our mothers.
- There is a theory that a father’s lifestyle before the conception of the baby, including the food he eats and how he feels are the basis of the future health of the baby.
- Mother’s genes are usually 50% of a child’s DNA, and the father’s genes are the other 50%.
- Male genes are much more aggressive than female ones, that’s why they are usually more prominent. This means that there are 40% of active female genes and 60% of active male genes.
- A pregnant woman’s body identifies the fetus as a partially alien body. In order to save the baby, it has to find peace with the aggressive father’s genes.
- The sex of the future baby depends on the father. From their mother, a baby always receives the X-chromosome and from father either an X-chromosome or a Y-chromosome.
- If a man has a lot of brothers in his family, he will have more sons and if he has a lot of sisters, he will have more daughters.
- Y-chromosomes have fewer genes than X-chromosomes and some of them are responsible for the development of male genitals. This is why a boy is more likely to look like his mother.
- When it comes to girls, they receive X-chromosomes from both parents, so it’s impossible to predict what they will look like.
