Why are we as we are? Why do our eyes, nose, hair, and conduct resemble those of our parents? The solution is our genes: tiny transmitters of information with the ability to make us resemble even our great-great-great-grandmother. However, these magical genes have the ability to regulate a wide range of other factors, including some unusual qualities you never believed were inherited. This essay will take you to the depths of science (nothing too complicated, we promise) to discover exactly what you inherit from your parents and immediate family. Prepare to never see the blood relations around you in the same light!
Inherited Genetic Traits From Close Family
Your Gender
Inherited From: Father
Note: Gender is solely determined by the father
Whether you are interested in genetics or not, you are surely aware of the widely accepted truth that our genders are established by our father’s genes even when the newborn period occurs inside the mother’s womb. That is because the SRY gene, which defines your gender, is found on the Y chromosome, which is only found in males. Because women have two X chromosomes and no Y chromosome, their genes do not determine whether their child will be a girl or a boy.
