17 Photos That Show Genes Really Do Run In The Family

Do you know what features you’ve inherited from your mom? Maybe it’s her eye color? Or the shape of her face? And do what do you have from your father’s side? The folks depicted in these pictures either have many of their parents’ brightest features, or they are almost carbon copies of their parents. Well, it’s not really surprising that we would look a lot like our relatives, but it’s still surprising to see how our genes operate. We are positive that there are some folks out there that just don’t need a DNA test to know that they are related to each other. There is also one photo that reminds us that our appearance isn’t the only trait we inherit from our parents.
