Alleles associate at random. Basic Mendelian genetics. Sigh. |
My two are exactly 2 years apart and look so different. One has oliver skin and dark eyes, the other has Irish skin, green eyes and blonde hair. |
Fraternal twins in my family look nothing alike. How closer in age could you be? |
No way. My sister is 9 years older than me and we look absolutely nothing alike. My other sister is 3 years and we do look a lot alike. |
I have 4 sons:
1 and 2 are 21 months apart 2 and 3 are 2.5 years apart 3 and 4 are 22 months apart 1 and 2 look some what alike, but 1 and 4 look almost exactly alike except one has brown eyes and the other has blue. 3 looks absolutely nothing like the rest of them. He looks more like my husband and the other three look more like me. |
My three brothers are 5 and 11 years apart. They look so much alike, we have to check dates on photos to verify who is who. |
I know at least 2 families off the top of my head where the 2 oldest kids look alije, and the 2 youngest kids look alike. One family, the 2 oldest look like dad, the middle child is kind of a loner, and the 2 youngest look just like mom. The other family of 4 kids is similar. |
No your theory is wrong. My sister is ten years older and a redhead. Sibling number two is blonde, sibling number three is brunette, and I am ten years younger but also a redhead. It's not just looks either. My husband's sister that is a year older is a combination of narcissistic and autistic and looks like she must have been someone else's child. His younger sister, by 15 years, is a dead ringer for him. Our daughter looks like a twin of this younger sister. Even though they have never met, our daughter has mannerisms and speech patterns like this younger sister. |
My sister and I look exactly alike but we are ten years apart |
I've never heard that theory, but it describes my cousins. The first and third children (4 yrs apart) could be twins; they both take after their mother. The second child (1 yr younger than the oldest) takes after the father and looks completely unrelated to the other two. |
My little half (!) sister is 16 years younger than I. She is taller by about a foot (her mom is 6', my mom is 5'2...), I am approximately 40 pounds heavier but we actually look very much alike.
From looks I could be her mom. Her short, fat and young mom but her mother never the less. |
