Okay, so an online quiz will not be able to predict your baby’s characteristics with 100% accuracy. The human body and how it reproduces is too complicated to boil down to 12 multiple choice questions. But… how does your body even decide what your baby will look like?

Chromosomes
Your baby’s characteristics are determined by their chromosomes, which are, in short, the blueprint of the human body. Chromosomes contain long, coiled strands of DNA. These DNA strands tell your body (and your baby’s body) how to put itself together. In general, everyone has 46 chromosomes — 22 pairs of 2 chromosomes, plus 2 sex chromosomes.

It takes two to tango
We just mentioned that chromosomes come in pairs and there is a reason for that. It’s the same reason your baby isn’t just a copy-paste version of yourself – it takes two people to make a new human! You and your partner’s genes combine to make your baby the person you are. Every new person is a combination of their parents! That’s why we asked about the characteristics of your partner (or ideal partner) in the quiz. Which brings us to…

Genes and alleles
Your genes are the information stored in your DNA. Alleles, on the other hand, are just variations of those genes. Alleles “code” everything from hair color to eye color to the shape of your face. But not all alleles are equal! Some alleles win out over others as your baby forms. These are known as “dominant” alleles. For example, dark hair is a dominant trait, meaning that if you or your partner have dark hair, your baby is likely to have dark hair as well.

The other alleles are “recessive”, or you could say “weaker”. These alleles usually only appear when there is more than one. For example, red hair is a recessive trait – a recessive allele – so if you have red hair, but your partner has dark hair, your baby will most likely have dark hair, because dark hair is dominant. But if you and your partner both have red hair, your baby is more likely to have red hair, as these recessive alleles combine to form a small team that is more likely to win.

Probability
You’ve probably noticed that we use words like “most likely” or “probably.” This is because genetics and the traits your baby will inherit are not guaranteed things. It’s all a game of chance! Even if you and your partner both have red hair, there’s still only a chance that your baby will have red hair – it’s not a given. Scientists use Punnett squares to “map” these probabilities and show how likely one trait is to appear over others.
