1 Strong VS Weak Genes
You have probably wondered at some point in your life why there are so few twins and look-alikes on this planet especially when there are over 7 billion people in this world. The answer to that question is genetics.
The thing is even if there are only a few attributes such as eye colour, hair type etc., when you start listing out their combination, the number is gigantic because there are so many possible combinations. However, these characteristics may seem random at first but there is actually a scientific principle governing this phenomenon.

The italian opens his lunch box to find a pizza and says "Man, if I get pizza one more time I am going to jump off this building and fall to my death!"
The chinese opens his lunch box to find rice and says "Man, if I get rice one more time I am going to jump off this building and fall to my death!"
The blonde opens his lunch box to find a cheeseburger and says" Man, if I get a cheeseburger one more time im going to jump off this building and fall to my death!"
So the next day they all got the same thing and they jumped off the building to their death.
That weekend at the funeral, the italian and the chinese wives are crying and saying "I would have fixed him something else for lunch but he never told me."
And as the two wives stare at the blondes wife, they both ask why she isn't sad about her husbands death, the blonde replys "Don't look at me, he packs his own lunch."
2 DNA
If you check the strong and weak genes and try to make their combinations, you will soon reach a pretty big number because the number of possible combinations is quite huge. In fact, that is one of the main reasons why there are so many varieties in this world. However, there is still a pattern that one can use to predict the genetic characteristics.
3 Eye Colour
Eye colour is the easiest trait to predict almost anyone can predict the offsprings eye colour by checking the eye colour of the parents. You should check out the info-graphic below which explains how easy it is to predict the eye colour.
4 Family Trees
The following infographic will clearly explain how easy it is to see that the dominant genes come ahead of the recessive ones and determine the genetic characteristics of the children.
5 Skipping Generations
Even if some people dont have brilliant genetic chances based on their parents, they can still possess some good genetics if their ancestors possess those. Often, the weaker outcomes are passed down after skipping a few generations in between.
6 Genetic Prediction
Nowadays, scientists are able to predict someones physical appearance from his or her DNA. Surprisingly, the result is fairly accurate too. In fact, bone structure can also be accurately found out from DNA combined with other factors such as origin etc.
7 Genetic Manufacturing
Technology is advancing by leaps and bound every day, and we are making new breakthroughs in medical science every year. Our understanding of genes has improved significantly, and this has led to the rise of a debate whether genetic manufacturing will be possible in future. Obviously, genetic manufacturing could be used to cure and remove diseases and birth defects but will this technology also be used to modify other factors such as eye colour, hair type etc?
If anyone has seen the classic movie Gattaca, he or she will understand that this might actually be true in future. And we still dont know what the outcome going to be on the society in general.
