"Resemblance" means a point of likeness or similarities between two or more things or people. It is usually used to mean that there is some physical similarity between two people. So asking or saying "see the resemblance" means can you see the similarities or likeness between these things or people. Ex: I can really see the family resemblance. Ex: I guess I can see the resemblance, but we're not related.
