Can a baby from two lesbian parents have both genes in the baby so they can look like both parents?

This is a rather difficult question to answer. In theory it's possible.
A baby requires X and Y chromosomes. The Y chromosome is only found in males.
While it is possible to genetically engineer babies, they still need male genetic interaction. In theory it may be possible to genetically engineer the baby from one egg and sperm, then have the other partners genes engineered into the baby during growth in the womb.
You can't make a baby without sperm.
While in theory the above is possible, it has not been scientifically proven as successful.
The process I have described above is called artificial parthenogenesis. The method has been tested on insects and rats in a lab, both with varying levels of success and failure.
So far, unfortunately there has been no success with humans, but scientists are still researching, because they have managed to make it work in rats and insects. The problem is that human DNA is the most complex DNA structure on Earth. Even if an experiment is successful the resulting child would be under scientific observation for his/her life to ensure the process doesn't cause health issues, before the procedure is available to the public.
You should also bear in mind that genetic engineering is extremely controversial. One single slip-up during engineering will change the future of humankind.
One other thing you could try, is to have your parter donate her egg to you and have that egg fertilised by a sperm in your womb.
I advise you to speak to a fertility or family planning doctor about this, you never know what you might learn.
Wish you the best of luck.

Can a baby be born with a negative blood type if both parents have a positive blood type?
and and one from their father, which get passed from generation to generation.... all babies get genes from their parents, who in turn got genes from their parents... -all- of your genes came from your parents, if your parents don't have the gene, you can't get it. (unless you're a mutant) Hair and skin color are complicated because there are lots of different genes that control it, which is why we have so many shades of colors of hair and skin color. But the Rh factor is simple, just two options + or -. If you are Rh-, then you are - - (one negative came from mom and one from dad). If you are Rh+, then you are either + + or + - (it only takes one positive to make you positive) If both parents are Rh+ and have mixed genes (+ -), then it is possible that each of them will give the - gene to their child, making the child Rh- (- -). (there is a 25% chance that the child will be Rh- and 75% chance that the child will get a positive from either one or both parents) If one parent is Rh+ and has 2 positive genes (+ +) then it doesn't matter what the other parent is, all the children will be Rh+ Here is another website that may be able to help ans some quest: http://www.thetech.org/genetics/ask.php?id=114 So, to answer your question. Two Rh+ parents can have an Rh- child..... but the negative still came from the parents.
Is it true that you will definitely inherit a genetic disease if both your parents show any sign of the disease?
IT depends if both parents have it on their genes (X and Y) as Dominant or Recessive, If one of them is dominant, you better expect to get it unless the other parent has a DOminant Counter-Gene
What can cause genetic variation?
genes are kept in chromosomes, there is this thing called meiosis which is when the chromosomes/genes get split in half, one from both parents that way it equals the normal amount of genes later. the genes have tons of ways to mix and match around while getting split apart and then ending up in the same place.
A plant known as a pomato is a transgenic plant which contains genes from both?
Pomato is a transgenic plant which contains genes from both paent Potato and Tomato.
How does crossing over explain genetic variability?
Normally the genes on a chromosome are inherited as a complete set. If you get that chromosome you get all the genes on it. In the process of crossing over similar sections of DNA are swapped from one chromosome to another. This means that different pairings of genes will be inherited together going forward.
Can a baby get different genes from the mother having sexual activity with a differnt male?
Babies get their genes from both parents. Once the pregnancy starts, the fetus cannot get any genes from any additional partners.
Can a B positive father and a a positive mother have a o positive baby?
yes... both parents may be heterozygous for their specifec genes...
When a a mother and father off baby mice are both white can the babies turn out a different color besides white?
It depends what the parents genes are.
Do male dogs get the genes of their father when born?
They get the genes of both parents. Only one chromosome determines gender, but the rest of the traits are determined by both parents.
What contains genes from both parents?
ovam and sperm
Can a caramel colored woman and light skinned man make a light skinned baby?
The short anser is yes. The longer is: A lot depends on the genes of the parents. The genes of the grandparents can have an influence. For example: if both parents have blue eyes but a grandparent has brown eyes, the baby can have brown eyes.
Can two girls produse both genes to a baby?
No
The combination of genes in which a mixture of both traits show is called what?
Heterogeneous is when offspring inherits mixed genes from both parents.
Sexual reproduction produce offspring that are?
A mixture of the genes of both parents.
When Parents with b positive and o positive blood have baby with o negative blood group?
I'll wait for you to ask the question. Positive parents can have a negative baby as positive is dominant so they may both have one positive and one negative gene and the baby gets the two negative genes.
If both parents are rhesus positive can they have a negative baby?
Yes, if both parents each have the dominant positive AND recessive negative genes, they have a 1 in 4 chance of having a child with rh-neg blood. Both mother and father would have to pass the recessive gene to the offspring.
Do both parents look after baby dolphins?
Actually, the parents do look after the baby dolphins.
