People With Unique Genetic Traits That Show How Unpredictable Nature Can Be

You might have never heard about it, but it turns out that any of us could be born with the genes of one parent, and our sibling with genes from the other parent. That’s what happened to these two sisters.

Ever since he was really young, this guy kept being told that he looked exactly like his dad. Unfortunately, he didn’t remember much, since he lost him at the young age of four.

We’ve all heard and probably seen families where one parent’s genes are extremely strong. This family is probably the perfect example of this. Just after one look, there is absolutely no doubt that these girls are sisters.

Some stories out there just warm our hearts, and this little boy’s story is definitely on that list. 7-year-old  Madden lived in Oklahoma with his family from a young age, and sadly, he always struggled with the unique color of his eyes and his cleft lip.

Now here’s a unique genetic trait that you wouldn’t necessarily expect. While the little girl is still a baby, it is impossible to ignore how much she looks like her dad already. And what’s even cooler?

After giving birth to her daughter, no one in the room could believe how similar the little girl was to her mother already. And the coolest thing was that she was born with the exact same birthmark that her mother had on her hair.

You know those times that you look at two people and you try really hard to tell who is the mother and who is the daughter, and you just can’t? Then meet this mother-and-daughter duo.

For those who do not know, Heterochromia is a condition in which a person is born with different colored eyes. But this girl’s unique condition went one step further because she was also born with red hair (there is a less than 2% chance of that happening to anyone), on top of having one green and one blue eye.

Okay, so this might not sound so impressive when you read it at first. You might ask, “So what if she was born with the same sized finger?” The thing is though, that her dad had an accident when he was 10, which resulted in his index finger being cut off.

For years, this guy was aware of the fact that he had an extra hole in his ear, but he never put too much thought into it. One day though, he decided to ask someone to take a picture of it so that he could take a better look.

Now, we’ve seen people with different colored eyes, but have you ever heard about a person who was born with different-colored hair? Well, this person exists and it looks incredibly unique!

If you’re an avid internet reader, you have probably seen the picture of twins Lucy and Maria Aylmer before. The two of them made it to the news when their unique genetic traits took people completely by surprise.

At first glance, you might not instantly understand what you’re looking at. The tattoo looks pretty cool, but it has an even cooler story behind it. Apparently, this woman was born with a condition called syndactyly, which basically means that her toes are joined together.

Brace yourselves because this one is certainly one of the most unique things we’ve ever seen. And if you thought that you knew flexible people, then just take a look at this guy’s flexibility abilities.

Once again, we get to see a wonderful mom-and-daughter duo with some of the strongest genes out there. Everywhere they go, people often fail to point out who in the duo is the mother and who is the daughter – in fact, they are often mistaken for twin sisters.

Here’s another case of an extraordinary case of genetics. It’s simply mind-blowing how much Jessica Alba looks like her grandmother, Cathy Alba, who was also an actress back in the day.

Yet another case of siblings who look like they belong in two totally different families. In this case, the boys’ dad is Irish and the mom is Italian, and they couldn’t have been born more different.

There are people who look like their parents, and then there are people who are born with the exact same face as their parents, and this girl is on that short and unique list.

We all have some sort of unique quality and ability, and this guy’s thing is that he has no cartilage in his nose. At first glance, no one would ever think that this is his thing.

There must be something really heartwarming about knowing that your daughters look exactly like you. And for these two sisters, it must be incredible to look like their mom, who certainly has some impressive youthful genes.

Now, we’ve seen a few mother-and-daughter lookalikes in this article, but how about this unique father-and-son duo? They both enlisted at the age of 19 and took a really similar photo.

Here’s another photo that went viral for obvious reasons, since literally no one out there could guess who in this photo is the mother. But what’s even more surprising, is the real ages of the women in the photo.

Many people have freckles on their faces, so in theory, that makes having freckles not such an unusual thing out there. But this guy’s freckles look very different from other people’s.

We have to admit that Reese Witherspoon and her daughter, Ava, couldn’t look more alike. The actress is often pictured with her daughter on social media, and every single time, people simply do not know how to react to their resemblance.

Most of us have never heard of a condition called hypertrichosis, but apparently, there are more than a few people rocking it out there. The condition basically stands for something like a “werewolf syndrome,” in which a person has excess hair only in specific body parts.

Here’s another young man who decided to follow in his father’s footsteps in every sense of the word. In addition to looking like his dad from a very young age, he also inherited his passion for flying.

Every single one of us inherits at least one thing from our parents. While some of these things may be physical, others are found in our characters. This girl clearly inherited her mom’s genes, because her hair and her body could not look more similar to her mother’s.

While we’ve seen a bunch of people on this list who have inherited their parents’ unique genes, some people get the polar opposite. Like this guy for example. We’re pretty sure that when he’s walking around shopping alongside his dad, not many people realize that they are father and son.

Birthmarks are some of the things that make us unique. Just imagine the surprise when these two friends realized that they have almost the same birthmark, but the mark looks really different in color.

As we said, some people inherit their parents’ physical traits, but some people couldn’t be more similar to their parents when it comes to their character. After dedicating more than 40 years of his life to law enforcement, this dad was lucky and proud to witness his daughter graduating from the police academy.

For the longest time, this guy had an incredible amount of love and respect for his grandfather, and the fact that he looked exactly like him certainly helped. So when he was just about to turn twenty, he decided to do a really symbolic thing.

We are guessing that whenever they go out together, these two twin sisters get many stares. Sure, they are absolutely stunning, but their unique genetic traits are something out of this world. They are twins and they both have red hair, which makes the genetic probability super rare.

When we go through our family’s albums, it can be pretty scary to see just how strong the genes in the family may be. To this family’s surprise, this woman gave birth to a daughter who looked like a carbon copy of her.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if a pair of twins would marry another pair of twins? Well, this wonderful family shows us exactly what the result would be in this picture.

Like other youth on this list, this girl grew up hearing that she looked exactly like her mother. So, when she turned 25, she decided to recreate a photo of her mom had taken when she was 25 herself.

There are tons of unknown conditions out there, and while some of them are more noticeable than others, that doesn’t mean that all of them aren’t unique.

This baby was born with a few rare traits that we have to unpack. To everyone’s surprise, he was born with white hair, which is definitely not the color of either of his parents. And more than that, he was born with a full head of hair which is also pretty rare.

This person couldn’t help but share how their coworker’s knees bend, because the site is certainly unusual. The guy was apparently born with very unique joints that allow him to bend his knees in ways that most people simply can’t.

It’s pretty common to see people looking like their dogs. The theory is that many people are drawn to dogs who look like them, or that with time, dogs and their owners end up just looking the same.

Now, this might be the first time that many of us hear about this syndrome, but apparently, it exists and this toddler is totally owning it. The syndrome is usually accompanied by frizzy and dry hair that is impossible to comb down.

Yes, folks, this is real. This woman actually did give birth to a tiny baby with elf ears, and it might have taken them a few minutes to realize it. The gene is extremely rare, but it has been recorded in several places around the world.

This person also couldn’t help but share these photos of her sister at the age of 18 months, and her mother at the same age.

After a few minutes of staring at this picture, it is still so hard to tell who is the daughter and who is the mother. We’re looking at another case of really impressive genes passed on by this mother, who looks exactly like her daughter and vice versa.

If these two girls walked up to us, we would totally believe that they are twins. They literally look like the exact same person, even though they are 18 months apart (which isn’t much anyway).

You might need a second to understand this one, so take your time. While the other flexible person on this list was able to bend their knees to the opposite side, this person is able to bend their hand backward.

So a person might not look like their parents, but they might look exactly like one of their grandparents and this is proof. At 2-years-old, this little girl’s parents could simply not ignore the fact that she looked like her wonderful grandmother.

Seriously, what are the chances that a person would inherit a thumb from each parent? Inheriting the facial traits we get, body type, hair, etc. But the same thumb? That is just incredible.

Yet again, we are shown that genetics are powerful and can run down generation after generation. Just like his counterparts on this list, this guy was basically born with the exact same face as his dad.

Just by taking one look at this young woman, it would probably be really hard to distinguish her heritage. Thankfully, she decided to not only share her ethnicity but also her talents with her social media friends.

There is something so pure about recreating photos we took decades ago. And we’re so glad this family did so because the photo recreation looks incredible.

After 80 years, this girl decided to recreate her great-grandmother’s photo and it could not be more remarkable how alike they look. While she never got to meet her, she heard several times from family members that the resemblance was uncanny.

Many of us wonder if we have a doppelgänger somewhere out there, and unfortunately, most of us will never really know. But these girls got the rare chance of meeting each other and looking at a complete stranger that basically had the same face as them.

There are all kinds of unique traits out there, and while some of them mean having something extra, others result in something similar to this guy. Apparently, he was born with no nipples, and his classmates clearly noticed it.

It must be really interesting to hear constantly from family members that one looks exactly like another person in the family. That was the case of this woman, who decided to celebrate the uncanny resemblance to her grandma.

This family from India surely is unique in the sense that for three generations, they have been sharing the gene of Albinism as consistently as it gets. While at home they all look incredibly similar, when they go out as a family, they probably really stand out due to their unique characteristics.

The uniqueness is so real in these sisters that they even made it to this list twice! These two sisters couldn’t look more different with their unique DNA, and the world simply continues to be stunned by their traits.

What are the chances that once you google your name, you find your own doppelgänger from 70 years ago? And even more incredible, is that you end up having the same exact name? This guy simply couldn’t believe it when he saw it.

Jokes aside, it is something out of this world that this girl was just on a shopping trip when she bumped into someone who looked exactly like her.

It seems like this actually happens to people and that it might just happen to us when we least expect it. But these girls not only found their doppelgängers, but they also realized that coincidently, they had a mountain tattoo on the same spot.

Okay, so if you thought that the previous one was incredible, just take a look at this story. These two guys were just on a usual airplane ride when they realized that the person sitting next to them looked exactly like them.
