Landon's mother embodies both parental roles by providing emotional support, guidance, and discipline typically associated with both mothers and fathers. She takes on the responsibility of nurturing and protecting Landon while also instilling values and expectations, often stepping into the role of a father figure when needed. Her strength and resilience illustrate her ability to create a stable environment for Landon, ensuring he feels loved and supported despite the absence of his father. This dual role highlights her commitment to his well-being and growth.
Boys typically grow taller than their mothers due to genetic factors, including the influence of parental heights. While the father's height can play a role, the mother's height is often a significant factor in determining a son's potential height. In many cases, boys inherit height-related genes from both parents, which can lead to them surpassing their mother's height even if their father is shorter. However, individual growth patterns can vary widely based on genetics and environmental factors.
It's a bit more complicated than that. There are many genes that contribute to the development of the brain, and contributions to intelligence are made by both the mother and the father. As far as which one contributes most, I'm sorry to say that there is no way of knowing for sure, at least not at the present time.
Both what?
In humans, genetic material is inherited from both parents, so there is not a specific "maternal gene." However, some genes related to the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which is passed down only from the mother, play a role in maternal genetic inheritance.

The questioner must be referring to the film version of The Tempest directed by Julie Taymor and starring Helen Mirren as Prospero. The answer is, the play did not change a lot. We are prepared to accept that single parents have to try their best to be both father and mother to their children. Shakespeare had a single father trying to do this, but it is no different to see a single mother doing it.
Yes. At age 15, around the time his mother died, he acquired his first acoustic guitar for $5 from an acquaintance of his father. This guitar replaced both the broomstick he had been strumming in imitation, and a ukulele which his father had found while cleaning a garage.
The narrator's mother said that father is a true author because he writes a lot of books, but what he writes the narrator does not understand. Father was reading to his mother all the evening, but she could not really make out what father meant. He enquired from his mother about the beautiful children's books from nice stores and to tell him the reason as to why can't father write like that, he wondered. Did father never hear from his own mother stories of giants and fairies and princesses? Has he forgotten them all? Often when father gets late for his bath mother has to and call him a hundred times. His mother has to wait and keep his father's dishes warm for him, but he goes on writing and forgets. Father always plays at making books. If he ever goes to play in father's room, his mother would come and call him saying what a naughty child is he. If he ever makes the slightest noise mother would say, "Don't you see that father's at his work?" He wondered with what's with all the fun of always writing and writing? When he takes up his father's pen or pencil and write upon his book just as he does,-a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,-why does his mother get cross with him then? She never says a word when father writes. When his father wastes such heaps of paper, his mother, does not seem to mind at all. But if he takes only one sheet to take a boat with, his mother would say, "Child, how troublesome you are!" He still wonders as to what his mother thinks of his father's spoiling sheets and sheets of paper with black marks all over both sides?
