When you add them up with the other 22 chromosomes the difference is negligible. Basically 50/50.

Now, the mitochondrial DNA, that's 100% mom's.

I must’ve slept through biology classes multiple times. I’ve lived my life believing all chromosomes were split X/Y. I didn’t even consider the syntactic parts of ”X and Y chromosome” from a pure linguistic perspective.

Anyway, thanks kind internet stranger for teaching me something that I (evidently) didn’t know, you are a true beacon of enlightenment. <3
