How do you determine your ancestry?

Question

When your parents conceive you, you get 23 chromosomes from each parent. But what has me stumped is whether or not it is possible that a sperm or an egg could individually contain MORE of one parent's code than the other's? Could, say, 18 of the genes in a SPERM CELL or EGG come from your mother, and then only 5 from your father?

For instance, if your father is half indian/half white and your mother is white, could you still get MORE indian genes than white genes from your father and thus be MORE than a 1/4 indian? Or do our sperm and egg cells each contain split amount of genes from our parents?

This is what I'm asking.

In an individual sperm or egg cell in YOUR body. YOUR body. I'm asking if it's possible that those cells could contain MORE of one of your parent's genes than the other's?

So we'd have an egg cell that contains like 17 genes from YOUR mother, and then 6 genes from YOUR father. Is that possible? Or do each of our sperm/egg CELLS have a split amount of genes from each parent?

Be aware, I'm talking about YOUR sperm and egg cells. I'm not talking about your parent's ancestry. I'm asking if it's possible to have one of YOUR sperm/egg cells contain MORE genes from one of YOUR parents than another?

Answer 1

difficult. real difficult but you can always suppose if you are of pure blood by your behavior.

Answer 2

WE determine our Human parents ancestry from the human parents which determine their ancestry from their human parents,etcc...Till we reach the first Created Human Parents. The first male parent was called Adam as per Biblical Record.
Adam had all the Genes in his sperm of all the Races of man kind. How all these Genes interacted to form different races is not exactly Understood. Therefore there is still a lot of research required to fully give a satsifactory answer to your enquiry.

Answer 3

Like you said, half comes from Mum, half comes from Dad. Which genes are activated will vary, the whole dominant and recessive genes thing.
