you see, every human has 46 chromosomes, which are genetic material. during sex, 23 chromosomes are in the sperm cell, and 23 in the egg cell, so when the baby is formed, it has half of its moms, and half of its dads genetic material.

Normal body cells divide, creating 2 exact copies of each other, however when a sex cell divides it creates 4 cells each of them having half the amount of DNA. Therefore when the sperm meets the egg, it's half mom's DNA and half dad's.

Who do you get your DNA from?
Its a combination of your mom's and you dad's. Identical twins have the same dna
Why do you inherit a fourth of your grandparents' DNA?
Because your mom or your dad inherits half of their DNA from your grandparents. And since you receive half of the half of DNA that your grandparents had, you get fourth of your grandparents' DNA.
Do you share half your DNA with your mum and half with your dad?
we get half of our DNA from mom and half from dad. This really tells us how related we are to each of our parents.
Does a fathers DNA mach his daughters baby if he is the father?
The baby will have a combination of both for its very own personal dna.
What percentage of the DNA is passed through to the offspring in asexual reproduction?
An offspring receives half of its genetic information from its mother, and half from its father.
Can the DNA of a baby be determined by swabbing the mother's mouth while she is pregnant?
No, that will give you the genetic markers of the mom, not the baby. Mom contributes half the DNA of the child, Dad contributes the other half. You can't really determine what genes the baby will get by just looking at the parents, but you might could tell what genes the child has a chance of receiving.

The baby will have a combination of both for its very own personal dna.
How much DNA is passed down to your children?
I think it's 50 50 as in half mom and half dad.
How does one perform a paternity test?
Establishing paternity is very simplified these days and can be determined by comparing the DNA of the parties involved. When a child is born, the baby will get half of his DNA from Mom and the other half from Dad. By comparing the baby's DNA to that of its biological mother, any genes inherited from Mom can be eliminated. What remains then are the genes inherited from Dad. Comparing the DNA probes of the child and the alleged father can quickly confirm or deny paternity. If two or more probes do not match, the alleged father is ruled out. A comparison of probes between the three parties (mother, father and child) can establish paternity with 99.9% accuracy.
What does sperm do for a baby during pregnancy?
It initializes the pregnancy by supplying one half the needed DNA.
How can a baby be half vampire?
The father or mother is a vampire and the mother or father is a human when they have babyies if the vampire doesn't take over the human DNA it will be half and half.
Do dads have babies?
Dads and Moms have babies between them. The Mom does 99% of the work, but they both claim the credit. The dad's sperm contributes half of the genetic content in a baby. The mother's egg contributes the other half. When sperm meets egg, a baby is produced. After spending 40 weeks in the womb, the baby is born. So basically, the father contributes his DNA, but the mother actually carries the child inside of her and gives birth to the baby.
What percentage of the DNA is passed through to the offspring in asexual reproduction?
An offspring receives half of its genetic information from its mother, and half from its father.
What DNA does a fertilized egg have?
It has half the mother's DNA and half the father's DNA.
