Genetics and chromosones?

ok so you get 22 chromosones from your dad and 22 chromosones from your mom

and your xxy chromosne

now you have your OWN DNA.

ok i get this but if you have 50% from your mom and 50% from your dad how can you look more like your dad then your mom?

Also i look chineese and have chinese type hair and a chineese nose[wide] my chineese ancestor was my great great grandpa, but if you get so little from your grandparents alone then how come i got so much genes from my great great grandparent.

my dad looks nothing chineese and my his mom looks a little chineese.

all my ancestors were

German,chineese,french, and spain.

i have brown/black hair im 4ft 11 and im 13

im light brown{was pale white when i was born}

i just want to know why i got so much genes from my dad side?? enough that people actually think im somewere from asia its either they think im white, asian or spanish is the first things they ask me and its annoying.

Genetics and chromosones?

Most of the things you are explaining are determined by polygenetic inheritance... meaning that more than one genes determine hair color, eye color, ect.

Genetics and chromosones?

because your dad probally had more dominant alleles in his chromosomes than your mom did.

Genetics and chromosones?

okay... well first mishap here is that you get 23 chromatids (which is one set of chromosomes) from each of your parents. In terms of X and Y, your mother gives you one of her X's and your father can give you either an X or a Y, in your case you received the Y.

With that said......

Genetics is very complicated, although you receive 50% of your genetic material from each parent, some genes that are expressed (turned on) and thus give you your features (phenotypes) are in competition between the two sets of chromosomes. This is where we get terms such as dominant vs. recessive. If your father has a particular gene, such as brown hair and that is dominant to your mothers Red hair gene (lets say), then you will have brown hair.

So certain genes also may be silenced over generations due to interactions like the one described above, as well as environmental factors which may have the ability to turn on "silenced" genes and thus may contribute to your "ancestoriall" features.

With all this said, Embrace your genetic diversity, it is possible that by having genes from so many distnct backgrounds you may have many more evolutionary favorible properties (considering that these genes were essential to your ancestorial backgrounds), and thus may be able to handle certain stresses (biochemically, psychological, etc..) better than people with more narrow genetic background.
