What sort of genetics do you have, and will likely pass to your offspring?

[snowangle]

I'm almost sure my children will get from me:

- High fertility (in my daughters, at least)

- Oily skin, which also means they'll age well!

- Bad dental health.

How about you?

I forgot to add that I may also pass down my panic disorder (I got it from my grandma) or my acid reflux (from my dad). So my kids are lucky... They get to be nervous wrecks with stomach problems and high dentist bills, who have breakouts as teenagers and are very likely to conceive. ;)


Thanks for the answers! I got lots of fun ones!

[RedThread]

Hmm things I'll hopefully pass on:

-Height because I'm quite tall (around 6'5")

-Hair texture because I have thick wavy hair

-Intelligence because I'm quite smart

-My pretty symmetrical features

-My lips and eyes

-My lack of body hair because that seems to be so "in" right now haha

-My youthful looks. People don't believe that I'm 25 because I look very young for my age.

Things I hope don't get passed on:

-My ears are different.. One is pointier than the other and it bothers me haha

-My dry and sensitive skin.. I have very bad dry skin that I have to constantly moisturize because if I don't it can get irritated and rashes can flare up. I'm very insecure about this during flare ups.

-Clumsiness.. I will find a way to trip over a flat surface so maybe my coordination is off or something

-My eyesight.. I've needed glasses ever since I was 2 months old. I still have the little glasses and they're adorable haha

Hopefully the girl I perhaps meet someday will have positives to counteract my negatives! haha

[RedThread]

I have no idea if any of these are dominant or recessive traits that are likely/unlikely to get passed on. This is more of my hopes haha

[Konnour]

Probably any possible kind of eye/hair color combination - I was born blond, then turned redhead, then turned into a brunet (all naturally with years) but my father got naturally black hair, despite I never had them I carry those genes

Perfect eyesight, I can see everything perfectly close and far and despite all the TV and computer stuff it still retain crystal-clear clarity - although... everyone of my family wear glasses >< I just gotta hope for the best roll about this!

Slimness, I can eat anything I want, how much I want but my organism simply won't store any unnecessary extra fat, but it's only from father's side, my sister also is the same way - she's one of those girls who will never know what is "a diet"

Intelligence, I'm naturally smart, quickly learn new stuff, easily find my way everywhere around - but it's only from my mother's side - there are plenty of scientists among relatives

What I hope WON'T get passed are:

Neuroticism - from my mother's side

Poor digestive health - from my father's side

Thx for BA

haha good question, I hope not my weak adrenals, I get tired easily, but at times I have lots of strength and endless energy, but when I get tired and depressed I feel so weak and like its out of my control when it happens. I hope any kids I have have my free spirit, likes to create and build things and is hard working like I am (at times...) I also hope they are simple and enjoy things like the beach and laying in the sun, don't mind getting dirty in the mud or playing with bugs, I believe I have a strong immune system because of this. As for physical stuff, I hope they get my eyes but not my crazy curly hair... ha ha Also they will get my height and be good at sports. I sucked at team sports but always wished I could be good. I don't like confrontation, at times I'm too passive, so they will probably get that too, but I believe some genetics can be changed if they are worked on, but obviously not all.

[ZenQueen]

I had allergies but have mostly grown out of them, thankfully no health issues, other than being an idiot and hurting myself, I recently fell turning a corner too fast on bike and can't walk and I wasn't wearing a helmet and hit my head too, good thing stuff like that doesn't pass down, well being an idiot does. lol

[justbanANNAz]

Hmmm...

Curly hair

Pear/ hourglass shaped figure for a girl

Maybe eyes and left handedness- theyre recessives gene tho so theyre still in question:P

Little moles

Not too tall but not too short height:P

[jmr2191]

I'm a carrier of the N370S mutation at c.1226A>G for Gaucher's Disease in the GBA1 Gene (autosomal recessive); I'm a carrier of the single nucleotide variant of unknown pathogenisis p.I858V at 2572A>G in the NPC1 gene for Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (Autosomal Recessive); Autism Susceptibility in gene(s) unknown (epigenetic); Common Variable Immunodeficiency of IgG and IgA (two copies of autosomal dominant form in gene unknown- pathogenic in me); two copies of a single nucleotide variant in the OCA2 gene causing blue eyes (autosomal recessive).

[jmr2191]

Why the downvote? Everyone is a carrier for at least several genetic diseases. I just know, because I had my exome sequenced. If I know, I can know what to get my partner tested for before having a baby.

- Alcoholism runs in my family

- Every other family member in my family has the genes to have identical twins and I'm the lucky one I have the gene so if I get a girl pregnant I'm going to have identical twins guaranteed

- Every child of my parents are tall, has really dark hair and blue eyes, and are alcoholics

- Every member in my family is never skinny but is never fat

- Beginning with me every future child will be addicted to Star Trek :P
