Dominant Genes

Anyone have them or does dh have them?

In my case its definitely my side (father's), we can all tell we are related and if we dont look like eachother we all have the same dominant features, chin, ears and tucked little toe as we call it. DH swears he is going to eradicate my genes but to date with 3 generations havent seen it done yet.

Mine are so dominant it spans siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles. My bil swore he had dominant genes but were beat out by my families again.

Re: Dominant Genes

We all have similar traits but dont look like one another. But out of 5 of my siblings, 3 of us are redheads... The 2 brothers that dont have red hair and had babies, their children have redhair! Weird bc thats def not a dominant trait and their spouses do not have red hair.
our "irish" genes are pretty strong because we mostly look like we're straight from dublin :)

ON DH's side, they ALL have the same eyes, and they're beautiful so Im hoping our LO's have them too!

Re: Dominant Genes

DH's family, the men especially, have VERY dominant genes. All the men look exactly alike! My youngest sister and I look related, my middle sister doesn't look much like us at all.

We all assumed DS would be DH's twin, however, DS still looks a lot like me when I was little and DD is the spitting image of my sister. Both have my curly hair and DH's brown eyes. So strange what happens!

Re: Dominant Genes

my brother and my oldest sister are dominant with their kids... by nephew is the spitting image of my brother... and my niece actually looks a lot like me...

my sisters boys look so much like our side and my niece resembles my bil...

my other two sisters are the opposite... their kids look like their DH's... i have no idea...

i guess it could go either way...

Shaun looks like his mom and his brother looks like his dad so idk who is going to be dominant... my dads genes are dominant in my family

Re: Dominant Genes

hmmm...
my brother looks like my dad
my sister takes after my mother
i'm told i'm a combo of both
we are all dark hair/eyes though

my sister's daughter looks like both of her parents, but she definitely looked a lot like me & my sis as babies

my brother's kids look like my SIL


my dh looks like his mother, if you ask me... he doesn't have any siblings or nieces/nephews/little cousins etc

so i don't know how to tell/figure this out

i am olive skinned, dark hair and eyes and he is as pale as they come, blonde hair & blue eyes
what do ya think??
