Mind-Blowing Facts About Genetics That Doctors Wish We All Knew

Genetics can result in various combinations, not always evenly split. While dominant genes may influence certain traits, each child may inherit a different proportion of their parents’ ethnic backgrounds. For instance, you might inherit 30% Chinese and 20% Spanish DNA.

Meanwhile, your siblings could have different combinations, like 12% Chinese and 38% Spanish or 5% Chinese and 45% Spanish. This variation explains why siblings may appear more similar to one ethnicity over another, highlighting the complexity of genetic inheritance and the unique traits individuals inherit from their parents.
