They get more genetic material from the parent they most resemble

They only get genetic material from one parent

Detailed explanation-1: -The process of meiosis produces genetically unique reproductive cells called gametes, which have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -During sexual reproduction the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring that differ from their parents. The genetic diversity of sexually produced offspring is thought to give species a better chance of surviving in an unpredictable or changing environment.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sexual reproduction is the creation of a new organism by combining the genetic material of two organisms. As both parents contribute half of the new organism’s genetic material, the offspring will have traits of both parents, but will not be exactly like either parent.
Detailed explanation-4: -In sexual reproduction, an organism combines the genetic information from each of its parents and is genetically unique. In asexual reproduction, one parent copies itself to form a genetically identical offspring.
Detailed explanation-5: -A child inherits half of the genetic material from each parent. So, it may be they look alike but they are not identical to their parents. Instead, they have the combination of characteristics inherited from both parents.
