so my gfs brother and sister both are tall like their father...but my girlfriend is short like her mother, I'm worried she's going to have the rest of the traits later in life as her mother...

Not all the time. Some look like their mom some like their dad and some can have features of both parents, and not really look like one or the other. I look more like the females in my dad's family. My moms family is all girls and have strong american indian features, plus they are all 5 foot or shorter. I look like my dad's family because I am taller, I have more of the irish features, like fair skin, and I don't have any american indian features. I wish I had my mom's skin though, she stays tan naturally year round.

They can look like their mother or father. I, personally, have most of my father's traits and very little of my mother's. The only time a child definitely looks like a parent is the first few months of life, as babies are designed to look more like their fathers to establish biological paternity. After that, the person can look like one, the other, a combination, or even have features that have skipped several generations in the family.

i get told I look like both my mom and my dad like I have her eyes and her face shape, people ask if we are sisters and guys are always creeping on her , she's pretty though not gonna lie so I wouldn't feel that bad if I did and I guess its somewhat true

Geez, you're sad. It's not all genetics and the mother's chromosomes, duh.

Environmental factors/Own personal habits play a part.

If someone's mother was a druggie/alcholic/smoker and the daughter was the exact opposite in lifestyle choice, she wouldn't end up looking like a crackhead, too.

It depends.

I know some girls who look like their dads,some who look like their moms.My sisters and I look like our mom,I get told I'm the spitting image of her(which is good!).My mom is gorgeous imo.

They usually have features from their mother but that can be anything from eyebrow shape to toes, but most girls will age in very similar ways to their mothers

Yea everyone tells me I look like my mom she's a little lighter than me but she's really pretty. But my sister looks just like our dad.

Most of them don't look EXACTLY like their mother but of course they're going to have some small physical traits that are alike.
