Because of something called DNA which is in all living things. Each living thing has it's own unique strand of DNA. Whenever something has a child, the child's DNA is going to be similar to the parents. That is why living things look like their parents.

Because you also get the genes from your grandparents from both sides, a mix neither of your parents have.

You are not raised by your grandparents unlike your parents.

Not even siblings are born into the same family. The family was one way when the first child was born and then changed when #2 arrives.
