Mercychen:
What are you insinuating then?
That your wife played away match with your father or your just scared he looks like your late dad?

If it's the latter, then it's your father who has come back to live with you.

Just open your mouth and talk rubbish. How can he insinuate away match? Women and cheating, 5 and 6

It happens. In genetics, we have recessive and dominant genes. Your fathers gene was recessive in you ( was not expressed in you but was there all the same) but became dominant in your son( was expressed). That's the science behind it. Nothing to be scared off. I don't believe in the reincarnation stuff too.

Exactly. My elder sisters' children look exactly alike. If you see these boys, you would think they are birthed by the same parents.

Am 47 years old,that my son was born 20 years after my father died,so my wife did not get to meet with my father,I don't believe in reincarnation,the truth is that I don't look like my father,but this my son does,both the way my father walks,talks and everything,that gets me scared
U might not necessarily look like ur dad, but u got his DNA, so u r bound to give birth to a child that looks like him. U might also talk like ur dad but u won't know, u should be happy, u r a true son of ur dad, now u ve a true grandson of ur dad, no need for DNA test here.

Genetics at play. I have a lhasa apso dog all white. I crossed her with a 80% black haired male dog hoping she will give birth to a black dog which i crave. Erita gave birth to 7 puppies and she had 6 all white pups and one with black stripes not up to 15percent of the entire body.

Fast forward 8 month later, I crossed my female dog with another all white male dog without any single hair not white on his body. Erita gave birth to 5 puppies. One white with stripes of brown and for puppies fully black/brown colour. It was scary but a little biology of some decades before relived my surprise.

Picture 1 showing male and female dogs crossing.

Picture 2 showing the puppies

I don't believe in reincarnation but this one scares me o

Why does it? I for example look, talk and sound exactly like my dad. There's oy one picture of him where I agree that it could have been me in that picture. But everyone else swears I am him. Even my mum couldn't tell the difference when we spoke on the phone.

You carry your Dad's DNA so it's expected that somewhere along the line, one of your offsprings (children or further down) will look like him

Re: One Of My Sons Looks Exactly Like My Late Father by adecz: 7:46am On Sep 16, 2021
It's normal.


▶️The average child will either look
like his immediate parents or like
any of the grandparents..


▶️At times, it can even get to the
level of the child's great grandparents.
That's the power & mystery of genetics.

The spirit of your father is back to live

Maybe your dad didn't die at the right time

He has come to live again
Re: One Of My Sons Looks Exactly Like My Late Father by Nobody: 7:48am On Sep 16, 2021
Why are you scared?

Did you kill your father?

Jokes aside, it's a natural thing. Some genes stay dormant for a generation and manifest in subsequent generations.

This article explains it well - https://www.scienceabc.com/eyeopeners/why-do-some-people-look-more-like-their-grandparents.html

,

Exactly what I was thinking to be the source of your worries. The answers are found in genetics and the study of the DNA.

To paraphrase what is going on;

you have all the genes (DNA) of your father but you do not look like him because those genes were recessive to other genes. These other genes are a myriad (very many) and could he from so many people, your mother, grand father, grand mother etc.

Now you have acted as a carrier of these genes from your father to your son and your son is showing (expressing) them because they are dominant in him, I.e. your son.

I have a similar case where my last son looks exactly like my late younger brother. There is a resemblance between my brother and I but this boy in question looks much more like my late brother than me. My brother died more than two years before my son was born.

It is a normal thing and is caused by the influence of genes on all living organisms. Don't let anybody talk about reincarnation or any such thrash to you.

Love and cherish your son, he is here to remind you of you father

How old are you by the way? Being your father's son,you should also look like him in a way . So if your son looks like your father,it means he looks like you.
[s]Have you heard of reincarnation? Do you believe in it? Answer all this and find the answer you re seeking for. [/s]Or are you saying your wife slept with your Dad?
Re: One Of My Sons Looks Exactly Like My Late Father by BigDawsNet: 7:49am On Sep 16, 2021
It's called genetics

I'm the only one among my siblings that looks just like my fada...

Facial lookalike

We talk alike

We even share same genotype

Sometimes if I have to receive his call just to inform the caller to chil for a sec...they start a conversation right away....and I will be like...sir I'm is son...let me pass the fone...

The caller will be like let's continue our discussion no time for jokes now...
