Everyone has similarities in their features except me!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
That can certainly happen!.

OK, first the eyes:

The rest of your family has blue eyes!? That is a VERY recessive gene! Its actually lucky for them, all it means is that your family must have, in the past, largely bred with people with blue eyes, essentially any other eye colour will dominate it and if there was a trace of another colour it would eventually come out (as in your case)!

Once again on the eyes:

In fact, most research shows, green eyes are a genetic mutation, usually of blue eyes, and probably not an inherited eye colour!. SO: you have green eyes, when everyone in your family has blue!? Yeah, that's not that rare (in fact if your grandparents, cousins etc!. all have blue eyes, it is very likely someone, ie!. you, would have green eyes, these kind of variations are common!)!.

OK now hair:

Hair colour is controlled by loads of different genes!. So there is really no firm telling that just because your parents have dark hair it will not turn out blonde!. In fact if by dark you mean brown then there are loads of incidents of blonde haired children coming from two brown haired parents!

It's likely your mum is your mum, and your dad is your dad!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

maybe your mother conceived to somebody else!.
