Predicting Your Baby’s Appearance

Alright, so an internet quiz won’t be able to predict your baby’s features with 100% accuracy. The human body and how it reproduces itself is way too complicated to boil down to 12 multiple-choice questions. But… how does your body decide what your baby will look like, anyway?

Chromosomes
Your baby’s features are determined by their chromosomes, which are, in a nutshell, the blueprint for the human body. Chromosomes contain long, coiled strands of DNA. These DNA strands tell your body (and your baby’s body) how to put itself together. Generally, everyone has 46 chromosomes—22 pairs of 2 chromosomes, plus 2 sex chromosomes.

It Takes Two to Tango
We just mentioned that chromosomes come in pairs, and there’s a reason for that. It’s the same reason your baby isn’t just a copy-paste version of yourself—it takes 2 people to make a new human! You and your partner’s genes combine to make your baby the person they are. Each new person is a blend of their parents! That’s why we asked about your partner’s (or ideal partner’s) features in the quiz. Which brings us to…

Genes and Alleles
Your genes are the information stored in your DNA. Alleles, on the other hand, are just variations of those genes. Alleles “code” for everything from hair color to eye color to the shape of your face. But not all alleles are created equal! Some alleles win out over others while your baby is forming. These are known as “dominant” alleles. For example, dark hair is a dominant trait, meaning that if you or your partner have dark hair, your baby probably will, too.

Other alleles are “recessive,” or you might say “weaker.” These alleles usually only present themselves when there’s more than one of them. For example, red hair is a recessive trait—a recessive allele—and so if you have red hair but your partner has dark hair, your baby will most likely have dark hair, since dark hair is dominant. But if you and your partner both have red hair, then your baby is more likely to have red hair, since those recessive alleles combine, forming a little team that’s more likely to win.

Probability
You’ve probably noticed that we’re using words like “most likely” or “probably.” That’s because genetics and what traits your baby will inherit aren’t guaranteed things. It’s all a game of chance! Even if you and your partner both have red hair, there’s still only a chance that your baby will have red hair—it’s not a done deal. Scientists use Punnett squares to “map” these probabilities and show how likely one trait is to appear over others.
