Louis1234 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Hello, my grand mother is 50% mixed white American and 50% Japanese (her father was a white american (tall, blue eyes, anglo-saxon and all of his parents, grand-parents etc... were like that, and Her mother was Japanese). When she was born she had blond hair and I guess blue eyes, now it's dark brown and her eyes are green/light grey. She had my father with a Taïwanese, and my father is tall like his American grandfather. My mother is 50% Irish and 50% Vietnamese. Does the white American blood may influence my phenotype ?

swansont Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I didn’t realize “white American” was a genetic group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis1234 Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 Well “Anglo-Saxon” so ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C.MacSwell Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Why would, or could, it not? Same for any of your bloodlines. You could have a full brother that looks very different from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis1234 Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 Because many people say that being 1/8 something doesn't count at all, for many people a person who is 12,5% black has 0 ressemblance with a 100% black person. So this is why I was just wondering about myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this is why I was just wondering about myself. We have some biology experts here and I'm not one of them, but I think you carry and express genes from every great-grandparent. Probably from some more than others but it could be more or less from that 1/8th than any other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
