Do I test My parents or me and my mom?

[Rafael Passoni]

I bought two MyHeritage DNA kits. My family are four people. Which is best, test my parents or test I and my mom? I want save my money.

You and one parent

[HelloGuys]

Imo test your parents; and after knowing their results you could know more or less how much you would score in the tests

At least I would do that if I was you xdddd

But if you want you can test you and one parent, it's your election anyways xddd

I just don't understand why people think relying based on your parents would give you like a sorta match DNA ancestral percentage, Autosomal DNA doesn't work like that while we do Inhered 50% of each parent , the process Is random you could Inhered entirely one of your parent entirely admixture (race)

Even between 100% siblings from both parents such as sisters brothers etc won't have the exact 100% DNA admixture.

Now If your parents were 100% of one full ethnicity then that's COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CASE.


Now as a mixed race Individual one of your grandparents could be 60% SSA or Amerindian and you 86% white (maybe)

That's not how genetics work.

That's not how genetics work.

I said their parent's results would give him an idea, I am not saying that it would be necessary precise (Exacto/preciso)

I know a Mexican guy that he scored 55% Amerindian, while both of his parents were around 60s Euro range .

I would be honest; very hard to believe; do you have their results?

You can believe what ever you want dear, And I don't post people pictures or their results unless they give me their permission OR they make It to the public (such as Reddit).

I didn't know that, so, I'll test me and my mom, because she is half lombardian, a quarter Sicilian and a quarter Syrian (non European), my father is fully european descent (Calabriam + Catalan + Scottish + Andalusian). Does crossing over genes make it more confuse?
