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 does the zygote's genetics makeup compare to the genetic makeup of the parents?

The zygote's genetic makeup is a combination of genetic material from both parents. It inherits half of its genetic material from the egg (ovum) provided by the mother and half from the sperm provided by the father. This combination of genetic material forms a unique set of genes that determine the zygote's characteristics.
