In the "Family Ancestry" section under the "How the science works" sub-header, the following is written:
"If your grandmother was 100% Eastern European and the rest of your ancestors came from Asia, then your genetic profile could contain anywhere from 0% to 34% Eastern European."
How accurate is this statement?
According to this Razib Khan article, there is a 1 in 4 million chance that the chromosomes inherited from one parent could come entirely from just one grandparent, but are the typical ranges of DNA inherited from each grandparent for the vast majority of people very close to 25%?
