Does a baby have the same DNA as mother who produces if was an egg from donor?
A baby born from an egg from a donor and fertilised with the father's sperm will have the same DNA as their father, but not their mother. This is because the DNA in a cell comes from the nucleus, which is found in the egg and the sperm. The egg from the donor will contain the DNA of the donor, and the sperm from the father will contain the DNA of the father. When the sperm and egg fertilize, the resulting embryo will have a combination of the DNA from the donor and the father. The baby that develops from this embryo will therefore have the same DNA as their father, but not their mother.
