Do you take more genes from your father than your mother?

[Vivaldi]

Mother is from X

Father is from Y

Are you half from X and Y or you have more genes from Y people?

+1 y

X ethnic, Y ethnic. Lets put it this way

[SomeRandomFrenchGirl]

You have half of the genes from both but some genes are dominant meaning that they will express not matter what (ex: dark hair)

[Vivaldi]

From father?

[SomeRandomFrenchGirl]

Either, if one of your parents has dark hair it is more likely that you will get it even if it's from your mother

[RobT312]

Yeah I think I take in more physical looks from my dad…my build and hairy body is similar

[Vivaldi]

Same for women?

Nuclear DNA cones equally from both parents. Mitochondrial DNA comes solely from your mother.

[Vivaldi]

If mother is X etnhic and father is Y ethnic. You are half X and half Y?

[slatyb]

You inherit half the chromosomes from your mother's ovum and half from the fertilizing sperm cell. The sperm cell has either an X chromosome or a Y chromosome. Which determines the sex of the child.

[Vivaldi]

Nope you didn't understand my question

If your mother is A ethnic and father is B ethnic, are you half A and half B?

[slatyb]

Most people would say that. My wife is half Russian Jew and half German. I'm half hillbilly and half white trash.
