The power and wonder of genetics: 14 photos that show a remarkable resemblance between parents and their children
How many times has someone said you're the spitting image of one of your parents? Obviously, you looking like your parents doesn't just happen randomly; it's genetics. This doesn't mean, however, that chance can't play a part in building your genetic makeup; after all, the genes you inherit from your mother and father do happen at random. This means that when as a child grows up, they might not even end up looking like their mother or father. Instead, they could look like one of their grandparents, an aunt or an uncle, or even a distant relative. Or the opposite could happen: they could end up looking exactly like one of their parents, like the people in the photos we are about to share with you. In fact, some of these children look so much like their parent, they look more like twins. Don't believe us, have a look for yourself!
Father and son pictures taken 35 years apart from each other: they look absolutely identical!
