8 Examples of Celebrity Daughters Who Inherited Their Father's Talents

It's no coincidence that many children of celebrities tend to follow in their parents' footsteps, often choosing the same career paths.

Genetics can be quite fascinating. We all know that we're made up of DNA from our parents, but depending on which genes are dominant and which are recessive, it's essentially a roll of the dice as to which parent we will resemble more closely.

A child may inherit a personality just like their father but all the physical traits of their mother, and vice versa. Alternatively, they could favor one parent entirely in both character and appearance.

It's truly intriguing when you think about it, and celebrities are no exception to the rules of genetics.
