[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with DNA is that it doesn't work the way many people assume. A person with one black parent and one white parent does not necessarily get a 23andme report that says 50% black. What's especially funny to those of us in mixed-race families is seeing sibling reports with very different ancestry percents. DNA doesn't divide evenly LOL.[/quote] Well, you get half your DNA from each parent. It does divide evenly. DNA companies are comparing patterns unique to certain population groups to estimate ancestry. If you don't happen to get an even distribution of these unique sequences then the ancestry percentages won't be 50% each, but you still get 50% from each parent.[/quote]
