  Everyone has some similar features to there parents, as they constructed following instructions encoded in the DNA which comes half from the mother and half from the father. However, sometimes children can be surprisingly different from they’re parents, these can be down to rare mutations or environmental factors.

Well my daughter is very good looking (though I may be biased) so I guess there is more than genetics at work there
