By-product of someone...

Hi

If a person is very rude or generous and so his son -- can we say:

Saim is the by-product of his father, equally rude in nature.

Saim is the by-product of this father; he helps the needy as much as Mr. Fredrick does.

Thanks,

Tom

Or you could say
eg He gets it from his father.
eg LIke father, like son.
eg He takes after his father. (I don't hear this a lot in modern English.)
