There can be no definitive answer to this question because it is open to much debate and opinion. Suffice it to say that this reasoning has been attempted as a defense against prosecution for criminal acts.

If you inherit half of your genes from your mother and half of your genes from your father what percent of your genes did you inherit from each of your grandparent?

You inherit 50% of your genes from each parent, and since each parent inherits half of their genes from each of their parents (your grandparents), you receive 25% of your genes from each grandparent. Therefore, you inherit 25% of your genes from each of your four grandparents.


What you inherit from your parents and these are codes for the traits you have?

You inherit genes from your parents, which contain the instructions for traits such as hair color, eye color, and height. These genes are passed down through generations and determine many of your physical and biological characteristics.


Does your inherit characteristics from your mother only?

No, you inherit characteristics from both your mother and your father. Genes from both parents contribute to your physical and behavioral traits.


Why do inherited diseases like hemophilia and cystic fibrosis occur?

They are caused by the genes that we inherit from our parents. Genes govern how our body is run. Cystic fibrosis is caused by a recessive alle. This means that both parents must be carriers of the alle responsible for cystic fibrosis. The parents don't have to have the condition themselves; they can be just carriers of the one alle that makes up the condition.


How do offspring get traits like those of their parents?

Offspring inherit traits from their parents through a combination of genetic information passed down from both parents. Genes, which are segments of DNA, contain instructions for specific traits. When parents reproduce, their genes mix and combine to determine the traits that their offspring will inherit.

Can you have genes from your aunts and uncles?

Yes, you can inherit genes from your aunts and uncles, but indirectly. You receive half of your genetic material from each parent, and they, in turn, inherit their genes from their parents, which includes your grandparents. This means that you may share some genetic traits with your aunts and uncles through your parents' genetic contributions. However, you do not inherit genes directly from them.


What are the functions that genes inherit?

Very many genes have their heritably determined functions 'set' to control the functions of other genes.
