Amazing Genetics
If you look at the children that Nadya has, you’ll notice that their skin tones range from dark to light, brown to blue, and short to tall. Because different genes are expressed in different embryos, this is possible despite the fact that all of them came from the same mother.
Since the sample size was large, consisting of 14 people, there were plenty of opportunities for Nadya’s various genes to express themselves in different ways. Take for example the two children depicted in this picture, Nariyah and Noah. Although they come from the same set of octuplets, both of these children have manifested their mother’s genetics in very different ways.
