Dad contributes a sperm cell- which has half the genetic material, It fertilizes the egg from Mom- which has HER half of the genetic material. They join the two halves to become one whole.

Where did I come from?
You are a product of the genetic material supplied 50% from your father and 50% from your mother and from the place where you were born.
Why do we have a mix of our mother's and father's characteristics?
We inherit a mix of our mother's and father's characteristics through a process called genetic recombination. This occurs during the formation of reproductive cells (eggs and sperm) when segments of genetic material from each parent combine to create a unique genetic blueprint for the offspring. This mixing of genetic information contributes to the variability and diversity seen in offspring.
What are the genetic preconditions of Prader-Willi syndrome?
The genetic material must be deleted or altered from the chromosome 15 received from one's father or inherit both copies of chromosome 15 from their mother.
What genetic material does an organism receive from their mother?
Chromosomes
What genetic material do you get from your mother?
If you are female, you receive half of your father's genetic material. If you are male, you receive almost half; the Y chromosome is missing some genes, so it is the mother's X chromosome and the genes on the top of it that solely determine certain characteristics in the son. These are called sex-linked characteristics.
How much of an organism's genetic material is contributed by its mother?
All of it
What percentage of your DNA is the same as your parents?
You share approximately 50% of your DNA with each of your biological parents. This is because you inherit half of your DNA from your mother and half from your father during the process of genetic inheritance.
Who would you consider more of a biological brother and sister children that are born from the same mother different father or children from the same father different mother?
Since the father and mother each contribute half (23 chromosomes) of the genetic material needed to form a child (46 chromosomes), the brother and sister are equal in terms of biological similarity, no matter if they had a different mother (same father) or father (same mother). However, if any of the father/mother pairs are related, the result is skewed.
Does genetic addiction appears to be polygenic and multifactorial?
Not entirely. Don't forget that there are father and mother genetic factors.
How can you make a baby with just a sperm?
You can't. To "make" a human being, you require genetic material from both a father and a mother. In other words, a sperm cell, and an egg cell.
