What does the term "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree" mean?

Answer #1

It means that a child is similar (usually in manner or habit) to the parent. More often used in a negative sense. For example, if a child is arrested on a drug charge when the child’s parents have a history of drug offenses, people might say, “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
