Everyone says that I look like my mom, but is it true? Is that really where I got my traits from? Well right now I'm going to either prove everyone right or I'll prove everyone wrong.
Attached ear lobes are recessive, but my mom and dad both have attached ear lobes. Therefore, since neither of them had the dominant allele the recessive would carry over to me; I do have attached ear lobes. Now with hair on the fingers, only my mom has it, and hair on your fingers is dominant. I have hair on my fingers because it is over rules the recessive allele of my dad. Neither my mom nor my dad have a widows peak. Again, while that is recessive there was no dominant alleles, and that's why I don't either. This is the same for a smooth chin, it's recessive. Neither of my parents have a cleft chin and neither do I. I have very big dimples on my cheeks when I smile, and so does my mom. My dad on the other hand does not, but dimples are dominant. That is why I have them.
So is it safe to say I look like my mom? I think so considering all our traits match up exactly. I don't match my dad in every trait, but he did have all recessives.
