Why do children have characteristics of both their mother and father?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
Children have similar characteristic's to their parents because when they are conceived, both of the parents genes unify to create a new set of characteristic'd depending on dominant and recessive traits.
For example, Jane and Henry find out they are having a baby. Jane has homozygous blue eyes whilst Henry has heterozygous brown eyes. The chances are that their baby will either have 50% homozygous blue eyes or 50% heterozygous brown eyes.

all type A children born in this condition are A heterozygous . there is two possibilities with the father genes but both give us the same result, since we don't know the father blood type is hetero or homo : if Father is Hetero : 1- Father(IAi --> A) and Mother(ii --> O), the Children are 50% of the kids will be O 50% of the kids will be A ( hetero) if Father is Homo : 2- Father(IAIA --> A) and Mother(ii --> O), the Children are 100% of the kids will be A ( hetero) so in both cases weither the father is homo or hetero, children will be hetero, because of the mother blood type.
