So, lately I've been thinking(Love it!), and if I understand well, everyone is who (s)he is because of her/his parents. The child gets some of the DNA from his parents. The child is a mix between the parents.

But, lets say, a woman with a short nose and a men with a long nose get a baby. The child, will have a nose between the lenght of the man and the woman. Lets just say, that the child has a normal-zised nose.

But, when the men(with the long nose), must be a mix between someone who has a longer nose then him and someone who has a shorter, the one with a longer must again be a child of omeone who has a longer nose then him and someone who has a shorter nose, right?

Now, how could this work? If I am right, wouldn't the noses keep getting longer and longer, the farther you get in time?

My bets solution is hat I just misundertanded how this works, but I still wonder...

Anyoen knows what I've most done wrong?

DNA doesn't quite work like that. There are still variations within one person's DNA. It's a good thought, though.

you misunderstand how it works

"But, when the men(with the long nose), must be a mix between someone who has a longer nose then him and someone who has a shorter"

there's your problem

it's not like the imaginary "long nose" and "short nose" genes clash and make a "medium nose" gene

it's a mixture of dominant genes determining characteristics

for example, let's say the "short nose" gene is dominant

it wins over the "long nose" gene and the baby is born with a short nose

@musclooman

Yes, buts still, would that still mean his nose would be smaller then the nose from the one with the dominant genes?

noses are weird

i like the eye example

so a man and a woman have a baby

the man has brown eyes and the woman has blue eyes

the blue eye gene is dominant, so the baby is born with blue eyes

as for the specific shade and such, that's random

The baby gets genes from it's mother or father. If the women had a short nose and the man had a long nose, the baby would have a long nose or a short nose.
This happens with hair colour, eye colour and sometimes height.

I am pretty sure that DNA doesn't work like that. From my knowledge, it is the gene (either from mother or father) which is dominant which the child picks up. Eg, if a child has a mother with blue eyes and a father with brown eyes, the child will most likely get brown eyes, due to the fact the brown eye gene is more dominant than the blue eye gene.

The father's genes are always dominant. I have my mother's hair and eyes. It is completely based on the parents. But yes, one gene is more domaninant then the other.

Brown eyes are dominant. Look it up.

i learned some of this stuff a while ago

but each parent has 2 genes

now, dominant genes like brown eyes will overrule a nondominant gene, like blue eyes

but if each parent has one blue eye gene and one brown eye gene

there's a chance that the kid will get two blue eye genes and get blue eyes

brown actually is dominant

but anyway

for a non dominant gene to win out both gene donations have to be of that nondominant gene

No, gender has nothing to do with it, only the genes.

Also, deoxyribonucleic acid. c:

Oops, I was suppose to say the father's gene are NOT always dominant.

The nose thing depends on both genes and DNA, imo.
