Question

your cells contain 50% of each parents alleles, even if you look more like one parent. true false

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In sexual - reproduction, offspring inherit half (50%) of their alleles from each parent through the process of meiosis and fertilization. Gametes (sperm and egg) are formed by meiosis, which reduces the chromosome number by half. When fertilization occurs, the resulting zygote has a combination of genetic material from both parents, with 50% of alleles from each. This is true for somatic cells and stem cells as they are derived from the zygote.

Answer:

True
