Yes there is a good chance you will follow. Although it doesn't always mean you will be the same.

yeah it depends,
but sometimes you will take after your parents.
so you might, you might not.

Im hairy but my dad isn't. Its all about recessive and dominant traits.

Well hair on your legs is definitely genetic, but you could get hairy legs because of your mom's side. My dad does not have that much body hair at all. But I definitely have very hairy arms and legs. I am glad that I don't have a lot of chest and stomach hair though. So you could end up like em and get a mixture from both parents.

maybe, but genetics is a complicated thing. perhaps your dad's dad had hairy legs, and that gene skips 1 generation. (i.e. your pop(yes), dad(no) you(yes))

or you could get a gene from your mothers side. or your mothers dad and your dad's dad had non-hairy legs, but you get hairy legs from another gene.


so you probably wont have hairy legs, like your father.

I heard it skips a generation, but on your mother's side. I don't know if its true though...

Your dad may also shave his legs or trim them. But i have hairier legs than my dad and mum, so i'd say that you won't neccessarily be the same, but chances are that you will be, or at least similar
