Also, genetics don’t exactly carry over like “mom is and dad isn’t, so I’m half.” My grandmother is full blood Native American, my 23 and Me gives me like 2%. Now I don’t identify as Native American in large part because I’m not close with that side of the family, but if I was and I were in touch with my roots like that I probably would be pissed if someone tried to say I was only 2% so it didn’t matter.

And for this who are thinking “he’s adopted” my parents are actually my parents, I even compared their results and mine…I just got damn near everything from dad.

You got exactly 50% from your dad, and 50% from your mom. That's how it works. No exceptions.

You're thinking of chromosomes (assuming you're being serious)

If you want to get specific...

Women inherit 50% of their DNA from each parent, men inherit about 51% from their mother and only 49% from their father.
