Children share the traits of each parent. Each parent provides 26 chromosomes to the baby and DNA for the developing fetus. There are dominant and recessive genes that determine things like eye and hair color, so when a baby is born they have a combination of both parents DNA.

Can parents be required to help support their 18-year-old child once he has moved out and are they still legally responsible in any way in the state of California?

Once a child is 18 the parents are not responsible for the child. Everything that the child does when s/he moves out is his or her own responsibility. However the parents do help support the child but can not do things for the child. They arent REQUIRED to help. But they do help if the child asks. Also, the child is an adult so it would not make much sense if the child could not do for him or herself. That is what the parents raised them to do. If you need support, ask but sometimes the parents support there child because they feel that they should in order to point you in a right direction. But once you are 18 you are on your OWN!
