44 of your 46 chromosomes are made up of your Autosomal DNA. You get Autosomal 50-50 from both parents and naturally 50% from your paternal grandparents and 50% from your maternal grandparents but it will not be an even 25% breakdown between your grandmother and grandfather on both sides of the family. How you inherited this bias is not necessarily how your sibling inherited the bias. It is a roll of the dice on how you will inherit it. No specific pattern. Since Genealogy and Genetics are not the same thing I asked a question about Autosomal DNA on the Biology Board and got the following reply. “Your mother’s egg contributes one set of 22 autosomes and one sex chromosome (an X). Your father’s sperm contributes the other set of 22 autosomes, and another sex chromosome (either an X or a Y). “Where the 50-50 part breaks down is when you pass on your DNA to your children. Each of your children will get half their DNA from you, but they won’t necessarily get an equal mix of what you inheri
