The human contains 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes, all of which are indepently assorted. What do you think the chance would be that one of your gametes would contain either all of your mother's or all of your father's chromosomes?

Parents pass chromosomes in gametes to form the zygote, which will grow and develop to become an adult. But in the gametes of the adult, each chromosome will be a mix of mothers and father genes, not exclusively mother’s or father’s, as they were in the zygote. Why is this?
