Question

WHY DO WE NOT LOOK EXACTLY LIKE OUR PARENTS OR SIBLINGS ,EVEN THOUGH WE INHERIT GENES FROM OUR PARENTS ?

Answer 1

Genes are transferred from parents to offsprings by inheritance. Each offspring receive half of their genes from mother and half from father. But answer of this question is:- Each offspring receive not exactly the same halves of the genes .I got some half of genes from my mother and some half of genes from my father. My sister also get the half of the genes (but not that half which I received) from same parents. This different halved of the genes are the reasons we don't. look exactly alike our parents or exact alike brother and sister. Hope this concept of inheritance will be helpful to understand the reasons for similarities and differences.

Answer 2

After all, kids get their genes from the same parents. But brothers and sisters don't look exactly alike because everyone (including parents) actually has two copies of most of their genes. And these copies can be different. Parents pass one of their two copies of each of their genes to their kids.
