      Is that true? By mass I guess, but I was always told that, genetically, it’s 50/50.

        That’s true for nuclear DNA, but there’s genetic code outside of your nucleus, mitochondrial DNA, that you inherit 100% from your mother.

        And that’s only talking DNA, but you’re more than your genetic code. All of the organelles, lipidic membrane, cytoplasm… was generated from the egg material.
