Best Answer

A new-born baby contains the same genetic information that it received

from the mother (in her egg or ovum) and from the father (in his sperm).

This means 50% of the baby's genes come from each parent. This is ALWAYS

the case, even if a child looks much more like one parent than the other.

Well, not exactly 50%; a new baby receives 50% of nucleic DNA from each parent, but they receive 100% of their ribosomal DNA from their mother, along with an average of 120 genetic mutations per birth.

Do all diploid cells in the human body contain the same genetic material?

Yes. Every diploid cell in the same organism has same DNA, with the same information (excluding possible mutations). Depending on the type of cell different genes are enabled or disabled, but in a cell of your big toe all genetic info is present to work as a brain cell, and vice verse. Exception: Chimerae, here two eggs with different genetic information resulted in one organism. The opposite of identical twins.
