Everyone knows that we take after our
parents in looks and charachteristics, but do you think that we do
when it comes to likes and dislikes? Or is it just an environmental
thing. For instance, if you grown up with a parent who does not like
carrots, they probably won't cook them for you. So you probably
wouldn't get the opportunity to eat them as a kid and you would
probably hear your parent make statements about how bad carrots
taste. So the first time you try them, you don't like them. Do you
think it's because you were told your whole life that they tasted bad
or is it because you have something in your make up that dictates
that you won't like them?
My mom grew up in a house wher her
mother was a person who always had a very clean house. Her mother
also spent time sewing and crafting. As an adult my mother also
enjoys sewing and crafting and she spends a lot of time cleaning up
after everyone so the house is clean. Will I grow up to be the same
way? Is it a generational characteristic in my family to like clean
houses, sewing and crafting?
Genetics is an interesting topic. What
makes us who we are and why. I have brown eyes because both my
parents have brown eyes. But why do my brother and sister both have
blue eyes? It's becaue my grandmother is Norwegian and they
typically are blonds and have blue eyes. My grandmother has blue
eyes. My grandfather is German and they are typically dark haired
and brown eyed. My grandfatherhas brown hair and brown eyes. But
his father had blue eyes! What?? And my mothers Norwegian brothers
and sisters have everything from brown hair, to red and blond and
blue, green and brown eyes. Some day I'll made a graph and study how
it all fits to gether. Is't just like a jigsaw puzzle. (327)
