Some pretty-specific Semblances can be passed along. But that is not the case with Adam and Yang, whose Semblances are (very) similar, yet different, instead of being the very same Semblance like with Winter and Weiss.

Semblances reflect a part or 2 of the user's personality. And since people can only be so different from each other, similar or even nigh-identical Semblances are bound to appear. So you could take this similarity as RT saying that despite being so radically different, there's one aspect where they aren't so different.

As for Raven and Adam being so similar....honestly, I'm going to rage if it's just a coincidence.
