Theoretically speaking, we get 50 percent of our genes from our father and 50 percent of our genes from our mother. Our parents themselves get genes in the same proportion. So basically, you get 25 percent genes from each grandparent because your parent has 50 percent genes from each grandparent and then you get 50 percent of that 50 percent, that is, 25 percent.

If your granma is 50 percent white how much are you?

Since everyone has four grandparents, 25% of your ethnicity is derived from a single grandmother, and if she was 50% European, then you inherit 12 and a half percent European ethnicity from her. Of course, you may also be inheriting some European ancestry from your other 3 grandparents; you haven't said anything about them - and indeed, you may not really know.
