Question

Why do children look like a combination of their parents

Answer 1

Children often look like some combination of their parents. This is because each parent gives the child some of themselves {gene}. A child is made from the information found in the cells of the parents. These characteristics are called genes.

Answer 2

Answer: Genetic recombination

Step-by-step explanation:

Genetic recombination takes place at the time of gamete formation in offsprings. This takes place during the process of meiosis. In this the crossing over of chromosomal pair takes place to induce mix characteristics coming from both parents. Thus offspring does not look identical to parents instead a combination of two.
