Answer:

50% from mother 50% from father

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello kassidyy00, the answer you have is correct. When a baby is consummated it will receive half of its genes from its father and half from its mother. This is due to the 22 chromosome pairings known as “autosomes” each being made up of 2 single stranded DNA segments of equal length.

Hope this helps!
