if my mom is light skinned, and the rest of her family is light skinned? Could she and me possibly be mixed?

Answer 1

It is certainly possible for someone to have a lighter complexion even if the rest of their family is also light-skinned. Skin color is determined by a combination of genetic factors, and it is possible for individuals to inherit a combination of genes from their ancestors that result in variations in skin tone within the same family. Additionally, exposure to sunlight, lifestyle choices, and other environmental factors can also influence skin color. Without knowing more specific details about your family history, it is difficult to definitively determine if you and your mother are mixed race. However, variation in skin tone within families is not uncommon and does not necessarily indicate mixed ancestry.
