What Trait Did You Inherit?
23-Oct-21
In terms of genes, what did you inherit from a relative? I inherited my grandfather's nose, but it's a female version. I inherited my hazel green eyes from (I am guessing) my Irish part of the family. How about you? And, feel free to add an environmental trait, if you don't know what you have inherited (i.e. are adopted). Like a habit picked up from those around you.

  • I inherited my hazel eyes from my father and the other trait is one that everyone can not stand, i inherited his ability to do the silent treatment for days on end.

    • When you disappear off Rewardia and leave no trace that you were ever there...all your posts and conversations....which in itself is weird...given the circumstances....its nice to know that whatever you put up in discussion of the day cannot be removed and is preserved...we are starting to get quite a list..... aren't we...

                • I inherited everything from my father and nothing at all from my mother. We have nothing in common other than DNA and I have checked just to make sure. In fact although it does say she is my mother I don't seem to have even inherited her German DNA which is quite odd. I had expected to get 50% of her German ancestry but instead I got 75% French, some English and a small amount of Danish, none of which mum has. But then no-one else in the family has the same blood group as me either.

                                  • I inherited Mum's large teeth but Dad's small jaws and mouth. I inherited and passed on Dad's astigmatism and dry eyes but Mum's glaucoma. Perhaps my optimism and patience came from both of them.

                                    • I got my dark hair, brown eyes from my Dad, shortness from Mum and well I have more will power but my fatness from my Dad and Ma. I hope I have my Ma's sense of business and My Dad's too. I am kind to most unless you upset me then rarely I am not willing to forgive. Grudge holder I am but not often at all. I am down to earth and I don't like liars, some can't handle it when I tell the truth. That's me in a nut shell.

My dear dad died from a heart attached at 45 years of age. My sibling are all aged from 64 to 69. None of us has any heart problems but because of our family history we have all been on statin drugs from a young age. We also have an strong interest in dietary issues associated with cholesterol-associated heart disease. I guess this is the reason for our good heart health. I find it quite amusing that I am very often told that I look like my mum by people who have never met or seen my dad, but anyone who has seen both my mum and dad I am told that I look just like my dad.
