According To Data, These Are The Traits That Your Child Could Inherit From You

So you’re thinking about having a baby? Well, as you dream and plan for baby to come, or even if you’re just fantasizing about having a child someday, it’s reasonable to wonder what your child will look like, and what pre-dispositions might be there.

Did you know that your genes can actually help you predict your child’s features and health before they even arrive? Here are the variables that you can predict prior to your child’s birth, to a reasonable degree of accuracy, based on you and your partner’s genes…

Eye Color

When your little bundle of joy opens their eyes, will he peer back at you with baby blues,  or will you find yourself with a sweet, brown-eyed girl? The answer to that question lies in your and your partner’s genes. Your eye color plays a role, but there is more to it than that.

Whether you’re homozygous or heterozygous (meaning whether or not you carry genes for more than one eye color) and whether your eye color is dominant or recessive also plays a role in determining your future child’s eye color. Two brown-eyed parents (if both are heterozygous) can indeed have a blue-eyed baby.
