Children share half your DNA.

Grandchildren share 0-1/2 your DNA, in a normal distribution around 1/4

Similar values and distributions happen for great and great-great grandchildren centered on 1/8th and 1/16th respectively

This is due to the randomness associated with the chromosome from you or your co-parent being randomly selected.

A grandchild exceptionally like you might be almost 1/2 your DNA
