Alright people I am confusion. I'm learning about genetics right now in AP Bio and something has caught my attention. Me, my biological brother and parents.

(38 y.o) My father is 5,11, fair skin, basic hazel eyes, used to have freckles, and light brown hair.
(36 y.o) My mother is 5,0, pale skin, brown eyes, freckles, and black hair.
(14 y.o) My brother is 5,2 (right now at least), pale skin, blue eyes, freckles, and light brown hair. Pretty much a photocopy of our father.
Then there's me...
(17 y.o) I am 5,3 (haven't grown in almost 3 years), olive skin, hazel-gray eyes, no freckles (NONE), and dark brown hair.
Thing is I know I'm my mother's son but like... she was cheating on my father the whole time they were married... help

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Things like skin color and hair color don't rely on 2 genes. It's so many genes and also environmental conditions can strongly influence the phenotype of offspring. I wouldn't think to deeply about it
