He inherited half his genes from each parent.

Explanation: Humans inherit one set of chromosomes from the mother and one set from the father, so genetically the contribution is ~50/50. Appearance can be biased by dominant alleles, polygenic traits, or mitochondrial DNA (maternal only), but that doesn't change the overall equal nuclear gene contribution.
