question about people of mixed race?

Question

do they usually look like their father or mother or is it by chance like non-mixed children

Answer 1

If the genes of a parent is dominant over the other , the looks of a kid will follow or look like him or her....Example, Me , I am a Filipina if I marry an Indian or an American usually the looks of a kid follow that of their father bacause these people, the American or Indian has very dominant genes of races compare to us Filipinos.Any races mix with us Filipinos turns out attractive because it seems our race is a nuetralizer or x factor maybe...

Answer 2

What kind of question is this? Just because the parents are of a different race does not mean that the chances of their children looking like one parent or another is any different than those of a child from parents of the same race. The child usually has characteristics of both parents like any other child.

Answer 3

Mixed mixed, boy are we not all mixed??? I am mixed with 4 different races lol..My daughter married a man who is mixed with french and Indian and black. They had their first child olive skinned second child blond hair and blue eyes, third a girl who is light olive skinned . Their are the fifth generation which I carries a strong gene.My grandpa from Catalonia Spain had real white skin and blue eyes on momma's side and on my dad side his grandpa was a full blooded German from Germany so go figure and I also have Latin blood and Indian I am very light skinned also. Not one race is just pure this or that.

Answer 4

Purely by chance...although I do know this for sure. Big families with children of mixed colour can have children of all different shades, different texture of hair etc. There's also a strong possiblity of a child having looks that throw back to G/Parents even Great G/Parents. For instance I am of mixed blood (my father is caucasian and my mum is melanesian)....my husband is also of mixed blood (more then myself) and our first son has green/blue eyes like my father (my husband & I both have brown -drk brown eyes)...hope this helps answer your Q

Answer 5

can never really predict -- some look like the darker parent (i.e., Stacy Dash) , some the lighter parent (Halle Berry), most a mix of the two races (or three, or four, etc.)


depends on the couple's genes :)

Answer 6

Its difficult to ascertain. They can be like mother or father of grand mother (paternal or maternal) of grand father (paternal or maternal) or some uncle or aunt or can be mixed~ face like mom, eyes like dad etc.

Answer 7

It depends... i'm totally a copy of my mum. But what i have observed, it depends... sometimes just like mum or dad or a mix of both.. I believe its something to do with genes.

Answer 8

What a ignorant stupid Question....Please stay in school
Every child takes 60% of the Mothers genetics
and 40% of the Fathers

Answer 9

It's just like any other child.... It's up to nature to decide. Just because the parents are two different races doesn't mean that they multiply any differently. In my case, I look more like my father.

Answer 10

Pigment-wise, you look like your darker parent. I'm half-white, half-Latina and people think I'm Mexican all the time. But as far as facial featuers, it's anyone's guess how you'll end up. I look more like my dad (white), but my brother looks like he's not even related to my dad. You get all the dominant genes, basically. It's your kids who get all the cool stuff like dark skin and bright blue eyes. Ohwell.
