Your Laugh Lines

Inherited From: Mother
Note: Chances are you may have your mother’s laugh lines

Laugh lines are one of the most charming traits in humans because they express the joy and happiness in their lives. What’s better than having a symbol of happiness carved on your face? This may make sense if you enjoy your laugh lines, but it may appear silly if you don’t. If you fall into the latter category, research suggests who you should blame: your mother. According to studies, while environmental circumstances and lifestyle choices have a significant impact on the appearance of aging signs, the genes you inherit from your mother also play a role.

 Your Ability To Focus

Inherited From: Mother
Note: Your focus and attention span can be hereditary

Have you ever had difficulty focusing on the task at hand, no matter how determined you are to do it? The blame may not be entirely with you (or your phone, as your parents and instructors would argue), but rather with your DNA. Research reveals that you may inherit your capacity to focus from your mother, as women with low serotonin levels are more likely to give birth to children with ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder). Because serotonin is similarly responsible for controlling human attention and focus, decreased levels of this chemical in mothers can induce the same effect in their children, reducing their ability to focus.
