Assuming that your mother and father inherited half of their mother/father's (Your Grandparents) genes, And your mother and father only passed on half of the genes they got from their mother/father's (Your Grandparents) Then the amount of genes you got from your grandparents is 1/8. The answer may vary depending on the situation.
