I believe we get about 52% of our dna from our mothers, probably the only thing we get from our ancient paternal lines is our names and an indicator of regional origins.

DNA is 50-50 split but the paternal DNA is dominant especialy in health.up to 60% of temprement is detemined by your genes,where nurture plays its part has been shown with identical twins raised apart,both gene pool is 100% identical but if one is raised in adverse conditions a compensatioary gene is activated,where as the twin raised in relative security may never need that gene.

It is really complicated. It's fascinating. I started reading a really good book, The Gene: An Intimate History. But I have mislaid it somewhere on my travels and I don't want to buy it twice. It's written really well, you don't need a science degree to understand it.

Did you watch that Netflix film about triples who were part of an experiment?
Three Identical Strangers.

yes a few years ago,I studied Biology & Biochemistry at Manchester university, genetics was part of the course,alas i only managed a 2.2,to many parties.

Too bad.

I think uni comes too early in our brain development.
Most people I know don't feel motivated to get a career till they are in their 30s.
I was motivated to do well, I loved my cause. But I easily gave my carer plans up.

And our Y chromosomes

No it’s not if you have a girl it is but if you have a boy which I’m assuming you are and that is who hands down the name through successive generations
A boy is generated by the father donating a Y chromosome to the corresponding X chromosome donated by the mother. Now imagine an X with one arm missing.
This is why sex related diseases like haemophilia are so much more prevalent in males because the arm which would have carried the dominant not haemophilia gene is missing.
