What have you inherited from your mom? Her eye color or face shape? And what do you have from your father? The people depicted in this article either possess the brightest features or they’re practically carbon copies of their parents. Well, it’s not necessarily surprising that we look like our relatives, but it’s still amazing how our genes work.

Bright Side is sure that some people just don’t need a DNA test to know who they’re related to. At the end of the article, there’s a bonus that reminds us that our appearance isn’t the only thing we inherit from our parents.
