Genetics Question

[OhhWatALoser]

Everywhere that I have read about genetics they all say that the baby receives one gene from the mother and one from the sire.

That would be wrong, the baby receives multi-thousands of genes from the mother and the same amount form the sire. What you are reading really meant, the baby receives one gene from a locus from the mom and one gene from the same locus form the dad, giving it the pair of genes that sit on a locus, but it does this for multi-thousands of loci.
