Why do kids look like their parents?

The reason why kid look like their parents is because of traits. for example, a Beagle and a Boston Terrier breed,when the puppies are born, the puppies look like their parents. These traits include size, shape, color, etc. once again for example, one of the puppies is the size of a Boston Terrier, and the look of a Beagle. I hoped this helped btw :3

Explanation:

i did say this in a comment, i'm just making sure that everyone knows about this in case they need it for something like this!

d. in sexual reproduction, offspring have more chromosomes than

either parent.

asexual reproduction results in offspring which are genetically the same as the parent organism (not counting a rare mutation). sexual reproduction produces a random mixture of the genetics derived from both parents

explanation:

an organism's phenotype is the  form of a trait  that it  displays. for  flowercolor, a pea  plant  can  display  a phenotype of purple or white flowers. an organism's  genotype  is the alleles of a gene it contains. based on his data, mendel concluded that a phenotype can be  determined  by more than one  genotype.
