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.

That the children are half-siblings to their father, that the mother is also the grandmother, and that the mother is wife and mother to their father are what is complicated about Antigone's family line in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban monarchs Oedipus and Jocasta do not know it but they are not only husband and wife but also son and mother. This means that Jocasta is both mother and grandmother to their children Antigone, Eteocles, Ismene and Polyneices. It also means that Oedipus is both father and half-brother to their children.
