Why you're almost certainly more like your father than your mother

[Geee]

UK Independent:

Genes from your father are more dominant than those inherited from your mother, new research has shown.

 

All mammals are likely to use the majority of genetic material passed down from males, even if offspring look and act more like m, according to the study on lab mice by University of North Carolina’s School of Medicine.

 

This means that even though we inherit an equal amount of DNA from each parent, the paternal line is mostly found to govern how a person develops into an adult – especially in regards to their health.
