If I look at people I know, they seem to take after one parent or the

parent is ugly and smart and the other is good looking and dumb, the
children seem to be either ugly/smart or good looking/dumb.
Are there some simple rules about genetics that layperson can
understand? I would like to use genetics to select a mate that will
give me children with the best traits. I don't believe in tossing the
dice on something so important if it is not necessary.
Beyond the old-fashioned methods of choosing a mate who is obviously
intelligent, witty, kind, attractive and healthy, there's not much more
than you can do.
The only question then becomes: would she have anything to do with
someone who asks these kinds of questions?
