Answer #1

‘ Do male babies get more of heir fathers genes than from their mother’

No. They both get the same amount of genes from each parent. It depends on which trait or combination of traits is expressed. Some kids look more like one parent because the combination of genes happened to express itself in that way…

Answer #2

I remember hearing somewhere that a child will resemble their father in the early years for the reason that the father will see himself in the child and is more likeley to stay with it. Its an ancient instinct but I think after a while that we develop our own traits with the genes given to us

Answer #3

Not necessarily. It just depends on which parent gives the dominant gene to that specific trait. Many traits are a bit more complex than just a simple dominant recessive relationship. But for simple traits like folding hands, or asparagus urine, it works!
