According to geneticists, it is not at all necessary to do a DNA test after the birth of a baby. It is enough just to look at his ears. No matter who the child looks like, he will have ears for dad. They can then change shape, and become like mom's, but after birth, and then until about a year, the ears will be like a young daddy's. Surprising but true!
But in addition to such an interesting "inheritance" from the father, there are other things that are genetically passed down to us from our fathers. I'll tell you the following story. One man, and his entire family, had a heart problem. Shortly before the operation of his daughter in front of his eyes, the man decided to find out whether his daughter had the disease as well. And, what was his surprise when it turned out that some relatives were dying before they reached 50 years old.
It was these analyzes that helped the man save his daughter from premature death. The operation was canceled, it simply could not be done. Instead, a treatment regimen was prescribed for both father and daughter, which helped them live much longer than other relatives. Yes, a strict diet, a bunch of drugs, but following simple rules allowed people to extend their lives!
Well, now let's find out what we children inherit from our fathers!
Heart disease risk
Scientists from the University of Leicester came to a similar conclusion. If men carry a certain type of chromosome, they are at risk. Because in 50% of cases there is a disease that affects the coronary artery. And this feature is almost 100% passed on to sons. Daughters have a lower risk of inheriting the disease from their father, but they also have it.
Mental illness
Now you can't tell a child that he is crazy about his mother. If he is crazy, then only to dad! Some mental disorders are passed on to the child from the father, especially if he became a parent at a later age. For example, ADHD or schizophrenia. As far as late parenting is concerned, there is already a change in DNA with age. But the DNA that women pass on to their children can change over time.
Crooked teeth
Children from their fathers can acquire dental problems. Wrong bite, curvature of teeth, their health, weak enamel. Male genes in this regard are much stronger than female genes.
Infertility
If a father had problems with conception, for example, he had low sperm quality, then his sons may have similar "problems".
Baby gender
Many men grumble at their pregnant wives when it turns out that the gender of the baby is female, that they cannot give them a son. And scientists in defense of the ladies can say that only the genes of the father affect the sex! So, if you want to predict the sex of the unborn child, you should look at the father's family tree! If the dad's sperm carries the X chromosome, then, by connecting to the mother's X chromosome, the child will be a girl. If the sperm carries the Y chromosome, then there will be a boy!
Eye color
Well, in general, the genes of both mothers and fathers influence the color of the eyes of the future baby. However, most often the shade of the cornea, as well as facial features, the child inherits from the father, his genes dominate over the female.
Growth
There are many different formulas that can help you calculate the approximate height of a child in adulthood. There the growth of dad and mom is added up, then something is divided there, subtracted. But scientists say that if daddy is tall, then the child will be so, and, on the contrary, a father with a short stature, children will be short.
I think this article will be useful to you. Tell us in the comments what genes you got from your parents!
