Yes, all of an amoeba's genes come from one parent because amoebas reproduce asexually through a process called binary fission. In this process, the single organism duplicates its genetic material and divides into two identical daughter cells, each containing the same set of genes. As a result, the offspring are genetically identical to the parent.
In sexual reproduction, each parent contributes half of their genetic material to the offspring. This results in a unique combination of genes in the offspring rather than an exact copy of either parent's genes.
The presence of two different sets of sex chromosomes (XX or XY) in most individuals is one clear proof that genes come from two parents. Additionally, genetic diversity resulting from the combination of different genes inherited from both parents further supports the theory that genes do not come solely from one parent.
When you say homozygous, you're talking about genes. It's almost impossible, or not known, if a human has had genes of all homozygousity.
No, dividing in half is a form of asexual reproduction called binary fission, where an amoeba splits into two identical daughter cells. True reproduction involves the production of offspring, which in amoebas can also occur through sexual reproduction depending on the species.
All Red, no white.

genes 23 from each parent
In sexual reproduction, each parent contributes half of their genes to the offspring. This results in the offspring inheriting equal amounts of genetic information from both the mother and the father.
They come from the same 'place' that all other Living Creatures Genes come from - Three Billion Years of Biological Evolution.
Genes on the X and Y chromosomes, which determine sex in humans, do not occur in pairs. These are called sex-linked genes, with males having one X and one Y chromosome and females having two X chromosomes. This results in differences in gene dosage between males and females for genes on the sex chromosomes.
When you say homozygous, you're talking about genes. It's almost impossible, or not known, if a human has had genes of all homozygousity.
Sure. All it takes is for a recessive blue-eye gene to be carried by each parent. Recessive genes can hang around through many generations and never come out until they meet another one from the other parent. When there's one of each, the brown-eye genes will always win, so after a while you don't know if the blue-eye genes are there or not until they show up. But somewhere back in the line there would have to be one blue-eyed parent on each side for this to happen.

Since all amoebas asexually reproduce, they are all the same age, and thus they are all as old as the first amoeba to ever exist on Earth.
