It is comonly known that the Nucleic DNA (DNA in the nucleus) in a human baby is half Paternal and half Materna. This is because each Chromosome in our genome has a partner that is very similar to it but with denes coding slightly different. Onc chromosome comes from the father and the other from the mother. They come from the Haploid cells (cells with only half the normal number of chromosomes) the Ovum (egg) and the Spermatozoa (sperm). These cells are haploid because they split from precurser before the DNA had been copied so one chromosome from each pair ends up in each haploid cell. When the sperm and the egg join (fertilisation) one cell is prodiced which has both partners in each of its pairs, one from the mother and one from the father. This means that both parents contribute the same amount of nucleic DNA. Although this isn't strictly true in males because he Y chromosome (which comes from the dad) is significantly shorter than the X chromosome form the mum. This means that in boys the mother has contributed slightly more nucleic DNA. On top of that...

The mithochondria in a cell contain some Mitochondrial DNA. The mitochonria in the sperm cell that power its motion are in the Mid-Peice which drops of once the head of the sperm has penetrated the ovum. This means that all the mitochonria and therefore all the mitochondrial DNA comes form the mother ovum. So it is true that the mother contributes more DNA to a baby than the father.

Yes, that is mostly true for male pattern baldness. We were all taught this in high school Biology class, that the gene for baldness is carried on the X chromosome, which means it comes from Mom's side of the family. A 2005 study from Germany confirmed this long held assumption countering a recent tide of assertions that this is no more than an old wives tale. There are, however, some forms of baldness that are not genetically linked, which means not all baldness comes from Mom.

Children inherit all of their genes from both their mother and their father, half the genes from each. This includes the hair gene.

Why are men more likely than women to be colorblind?

Yes. Because the colorblind trait is a sexlinked trait and is found in the X chromosome that is inherited from the mother, men that only have one X chromosome will develop colorblindness if the trait is found in this gene. For a woman to get it, she would need to have the colorblind gene on both x chromosomes. Therefore the girl´s dad would have to be colorblind and the mother at least a carrier.


What are the possible parental bloodtypes for a child with the blood-type A positive?

There are many possibilities, but two things are certain: at least one parent must be type A or AB, and at least one parent must be Rh + A child with blood type A+ can have the following combinations of parents: Mother A+, Father A+ Mother A+, Father A- Mother A-, Father A+ Mother A+, Father B+ Mother A+, Father B- Mother A-, Father B+ Mother A+, Father AB+ Mother A+, Father AB- Mother A-, Father AB+ Mother A+, Father O+ Mother A+, Father O- Mother A-, Father O+ Mother B+, Father A+ Mother B+, Father A- Mother B-, Father A+ Mother B+, Father AB+ Mother B+, Father AB- Mother B-, Father AB+ Mother AB+, Father A+ Mother AB+, Father A- Mother AB-, Father A+ Mother AB+, Father B+ Mother AB+, Father B- Mother AB-, Father B+ Mother AB+, Father AB+ Mother AB+, Father AB- Mother AB-, Father AB+ Mother AB+, Father O+ Mother AB+, Father O- Mother AB-, Father O+ Mother O+, Father A+ Mother O+, Father A- Mother O-, Father A+ Mother O+, Father AB+ Mother O+, Father AB- Mother O-, Father AB+


Do you really inherit eye color from your parents?

Through the X chromosome, usually from a mother, (whom does not show any signs of colour blindness, yet she is a CARRIER of the X chromosome) passed down to son. Males usually get this because they only posses ONE X, in their XY life.


Is it possible to have some genetic traits as your grandparents?

No, but many aunts and uncles have the same parents as your mother or father. They may share genes with your grandparents and you would also have genes from your grandparents.

Because usually their Mother cares about them more than their Father.


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.


Can a mother get custody of her children even though she is married to another guy?

Jesus said 'forsake not the law of thy mother nor thy father'?

No. In fact, He said just the opposite. From the New King James translation: Matthew 10:35-37 - For I have come to 'set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law'; and 'a man's enemies will be those of his own household.' He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. Matthew 19:29 - And everyone who has left [forsaken] houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life. Luke 14:26 - If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.Luke 14:33 - So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.


Who were both of Thor's wives?

Thor had a wife and a mistress. His wife, Sif, is the mother of Thrud with Thor, and the mother of Ullr with an unknown father. His mistress, Járnsaxa, is the mother of Magni with Thor, and more than likely the mother of Modi, though it is not mentioned anywhere, since the two of them inherit Thor's hammer when he dies.


Why was Jesus's brothers and sisters considered half brothers and sisters?

Example: Let's say my mother gave birth to me and then something happened to my father and then later my mother married another man and had 3 more children. We would all have the same mother but different father's so we would be half brothers and sisters. Jesus' mother was Mary and Jesus' father was God (by the Holy Spirit). then Mary and Joseph were married and had children. Jesus and his brothers and sisters all had Mary as their mother, but Jesus' father was God and the other children's father was Joseph, making them Half brothers and sisters.


Did King Henry the 7th have siblings?
