This is a bit of a trick question! You actually get equal amounts of DNA from both your mother and father.

Here's why:

* Chromosomes: Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, with one chromosome from each pair coming from your mother and the other from your father.

* Equal Contribution: Each chromosome contains DNA, so you receive 50% of your DNA from your mother and 50% from your father.

However, there are some nuances:

* Mitochondrial DNA: You inherit your mitochondrial DNA, which is separate from the DNA in your chromosomes, solely from your mother. This DNA plays a role in energy production within your cells.

* X and Y Chromosomes: Females have two X chromosomes (one from each parent), while males have one X chromosome (from their mother) and one Y chromosome (from their father).

So while the overall amount of DNA is equal, the specific inheritance patterns differ between chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.
