Science-Based Ways Of Predicting What Your Future Kid Will Look Like.



Expectant parents love to guess what their future child will look like. Whose eye, hair colour will the baby take after? Every feature from the nose to the toes is dreamed about. Science is trying to determine and predict so anxious moms and dads can know in advanced.

Although it cannot verify with 100 percent accuracy, there are guides that can give you a small glimpse into the future traits and features of your offspring.

Dominant vs. recessive genes

Dark eyes, hair, and skin are considered recessive genes. For example, if one of the parents has brown curly hair and the other has a straight blonde locks, the child is likely to be a brunette with curly hair. Nonetheless, even when both parents have light hair, dark genes come into existence.


 

Compare both parents' features and take an educated guess.


Some features will overpower others but you can still be surprised when two parents with brown hair give birth to a blond baby.

 Scientists say traits are complex and unpredictable.

Genes can skip one or several generations. 

 

Just like recessive genes can skip generations, so can dominant ones.

"Most traits are actually determined by many genes working together, rather than a single gene," says Kate Garber, PhD, Director of Education in the Department of Human Genetics at Emory University School of Medicine, in Atlanta, Georgia.

Learn the meaning of BAR CODES

EAN Country Codes The first two or three digits of an EAN-13 barcode identify the country in which the manufacturer's identification code was assigned.  They do not necessarily indicate the country in which the goods were manufactured.   Many countries have EAN coding authorities which regulate the use of retail barcodes. For names, addresses, and telephone numbers, click here to view our list of Standards Organizations.  In the United States the UPC-A and UPC-E symbologies are used for marking retail products; the administering authority is the Uniform Code Council in Dayton, Ohio (tel. 937-435-3870) The figure below shows a typical EAN-13 barcode.

What Horror’s Scariest Stars Look Like In Real Life.

Image
            When you appear as a scary looking villain in a horror flick, your true appearance is often masked by special effects, makeup, and, you guessed it, a hockey mask. But in real life, these supernatural creatures are no different than the rest of us. Most of you would probably walk by them on the street without realizing the roles they played. This is actually quite an advantage for them, as it gives these actors the chance to avoid being typecast in Hollywood, but it's bad for us, because when we come face to face with them, we won't know whether we should be afraid of them or not.  Samara caused havoc and brought terror to audiences in "The Ring" in 2002. In the film, anyone who watched a videotape of Samara would get a call informing them that they had 7 days to live. Then they'd get a visit from Samara herself as she crawled out of the well and into your living room, and killed you.
