There's an old theory that says first-born babies were genetically predispositioned to look more like their father. It was believed this was so the father accepted the child was his and would provide and care for them. There's also another theory that says it was so he didn't eat the baby…
There's no set genetic rule that all first born daughters look like their dads, but in many cases – thanks to TikTok – we've seen this theory proved. However, we think this is nothing more than a cute opportunity for Das to be involved with their daughters' TikTok careers.
Two other studies in Evolution & Human Behavior, one in 2000 and one in 2007, found that newborns actually look more like their mothers than their fathers in the first three days of their lives, as judged by unrelated assessors.
Your dad has more genetic influence
Now it's known that thousands of your genes express themselves according to what your dad added to the genetic pool. Did you know that you don't use an equal amount of genes from both parents?
No, genetics is more random than that. Sometimes the first born daughter looks like her father; sometimes she looks like her mother; and sometimes she looks like neither of them.
As the oldest daughter enters adulthood, she may experience sadness and depression without identifying a reason for either. This state can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as personality disorders and free-floating anxiety.”

Genetically, a person actually carries more of his/her mother's genes than his/her father's. The reason is little organelles that live within cells, the? mitochondria, which are only received from a mother. Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell and is inherited from the mother.
All men inherit a Y chromosome from their father, which means all traits that are only found on the Y chromosome come from dad, not mom. The Supporting Evidence: Y-linked traits follow a clear paternal lineage.
The X and Y chromosomes, commonly known as sex chromosomes, define the child's gender. Girls inherit an X chromosome from their father, resulting in a XX genotype, and males inherit a Y chromosome from their father, resulting in an XY genotype.
DNA. Everyone knows that DNA is what determines your baby's appearance. But DNA is a very complex subject. Everything from hair color, eye color, height, and weight to the placement of dimples or freckles can be dictated by you or your partner's (or both!)
Daughters naturally crave connection with their fathers, and they especially cherish emotional and physical affection from their fathers. In fact, according to Meg Meeker's research, when girls and dads have a stronger connection, daughters do better in life on a number of different levels.
No it doesn't. Neither of your parents has to have the same blood type as you. For example if one of your parents was AB+ and the other was O+, they could only have A and B kids. In other words, most likely none of their kids would share either parent's blood type.
And while it is true that you get half of your genes from each parent, the genes from your father are more dominant, especially when it comes to your health.
It allows you to have more photos with your loved ones
By taking the time to do a first look with dad, you are able to ease their nerves, before the walk down the aisle. Our parents often hold so many of their emotions in! But allowing you two to have that special moment can help them share their emotions.
the eldest child in a family.
One popular myth is that hair loss in men is passed down from the mother's side of the family while hair loss in women is passed down from the father's side; however, the truth is that the genes for hair loss and hair loss itself are actually passed down from both sides of the family.
The mitochondrial genes always pass from the mother to the child. Fathers get their mitochondrial genes from their mothers, and do not pass them to their children.
Each parent will pass one copy of their eye color gene to their child. In this case, the mom will always pass B and the dad will always pass b. This means all of their kids will be Bb and have brown eyes. Each child will show the mom's dominant trait.
Good gene indicators are hypothesized to include masculinity, physical attractiveness, muscularity, symmetry, intelligence, and “confrontativeness” (Gangestad, Garver-Apgar, and Simpson, 2007).
You inherited half of your mother's DNA, half of your father's. Because you're a woman, you didn't inherit your father's Y chromosome (females sex chromosomes are XX, males are XY). Thus, you don't have a direct access to your paternal lineage.
Multiple binary logistic regression analysis shows that being physically attractive statistically significantly increases the odds of having a daughter as the first child, net of sex, age at first child, education, social class, earnings, height, and weight.
Previous studies have repeatedly found that one of the reliable predictors of the sex of the offspring is the age of the parent. Older parents are significantly more likely to have daughters than younger parents. The National Child Development Study replicates these findings from earlier studies.
Someone born to a father of 22 is already 5 – 10 per cent more attractive than those with a 40-year-old father and the difference grows with the age gap.” Researchers asked volunteers to rate the attractiveness of more than 8,000 men and women.
