from both. something about "x" chromosomes belonging to a male and "something" chromosomes belonging to the female. 20 from each person. 10 from the dad and 10 from the mom go to you and those are genes. The chromosomes are genes , i think its just a fancier way of saying it. but i might be wrong

You get 50% of your genes from your mother and 50% from your father. Both of them have an effect on body growth and development.

Contrary to some popular beliefs, you can get them from both parents. During fertilization, when your DNA is being made, there is a natural process referred to as "crossing over". One part of one chromosome actually disconnects and attaches to another chromosome and vice versa. This accounts for the vast diversity in our populations.
