Question about genes?

Actually your parents have almost identical genes - all humans do; just not the same forms of those genes. So you will have almost identical genes too but the forms will be mixed into your own unique sequence.

Questions about the answerer are not allowed here, and those are two statements.

The first is not true. They share a huge amount of DNA and a huge amount of ancestors - many of which had mutations that they passed on.

The second one is partially true, as you have HALF of your father's 46 chromosomes and HALF of your mother's 46 [you also have your mother's mitochondrial DNA]

I disagree.  About 99.9% of our genes go into making us, you know, Biota, Eukarya, Animalia, Chordata, Mammalia, Primates, Hominidae, H. sapiens sapiens.

My parents were a lot alike genetically, and shared common ancestors -- even as recently as historically.

Also, thanks to meiosis, I'm missing some of what makes my mom uniquely her and my dad uniquely him;  therefore I'm not a combination of their genes.  For a girl it's even more evident that she's missing something that her father had.  LOL.

Some people parents are genetically related due to incest. Anyways, you would take 50 percent of your mother and father genes.
