I think I resemble my mom more but you know how genes are... Some people think I resemble the paternal side of my family while others think its the maternal side that I bear closer resemblance to. Still there are those who say I bear no resemblance to either sides of my family. What is it like for you? Do you bear resemblance to your mom, dad or none of them? Maybe its an aunt or grandparent that you resemble... Genetics is one amazing area of science .

Definitely my mom! A lot of people say how much we look like each other, and when I look back at our high school yearbooks and see the pictures it really is amazing! I hope I look as good as she does when I'm her age (52). I'm just glad I don't have my dad's nose--lol.

I lok alot more like my mom in the face, but I've got the same body shape as all the women on my dads side (tall, skinny, big hips, big bum)which is the opposite to my mother (although she is also quite trim...) Anyway, people say I act alot more like my dad. I can't handle money, I'm witty, I'm lazy, I like thinking of new ideas to make money that will probably never work, I can't study and I like adventures. Also the complete opposite to my mother. I'm not sure if it's a genetic thing,it probably isn't, but everyone on my dad's side is pretty much exactly what I just described above, even my cousins and cousins children... It's weird...

My father without a doubt. I have his eyes and his build. Darn it. I don't mind the eye part, but I could have lived without the short and stocky. My mother on the other hand is fairly tall and thin.

Well I have my moms eyes but thats it. I resemble my dad mostly. We look allot alike and we have allot of the same personality traits too.
