7. Hair type and color

According to scientists, recessive and dominant genes play a huge role when it comes to determining the hair color and type of a child. For example, it is more likely that the baby will inherit the mother’s dominant gene for hair texture and color.

8. Hashimoto’s Disease

Hashimoto’s disease is a condition in which the thyroid is attacked by the immune system. The thyroid is a small gland that is situated at the base of the neck. This gland is a component of the endocrine system, which is responsible for producing hormones that coordinate several body functions.

It has been found that Hashimoto’s disease is usually passed down from the mother of the baby, or from someone in her family tree. It is believed that if a mother has Hashimoto’s disease or other thyroid issues, the children are more likely to have it as well.
