Family resemblances or features are passed on from generation to generation.
Notice that Max inherited a widow's peak from his mother, Angelie.
He also inherited dimples from his great grandmother, Frances.
However, not everyone in this family looks exactly alike because each new generation has two parents and their children do not inherit exactly the same features.
Resemblances to the "older ancestors" generally fade as the number of generations increases.
Max looks more like his parents than his great grandparents.
