what part and how much of the dna comes from the human father?

  • 50% (half of the chromosomes). of the nuclear DNA, 0% of the mitochondrial one.CyrilleDunant 18:38, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
Aah, only roughly. If you are male and you have an XY sex determination system, like humans do, you receive slightly less than 50% from your father since the Y chromosome you receive is shorter than the X you would have if you were a girl. Dunc| 19:02, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
