In terms of genetics, parents give half of their genetic material to their kids. This explains why kids look like combinations of their parents.
However, there are kids who look more like one parent. Although science has already found an explanation for that, seeing parents and kids who look so much alike is still amusing.
And with that, here are 73 children who looks so much like their parents
1. So Determined
The look of determination on this duo’s face will be the end of them or their strongest trait. Who would win, mother or son? I think we already know the answer to that.
