Here is a link to an article in the Ancestry.com blog that explains the inheritance patterns of autosomal DNA. Please note that the Phillips DNA Project is based on Y-DNA, which is not the same as autosomal DNA. Y-DNA is passed down intact from father to son over the generations with very little change. Autosomal DNA is jumbled up as it is passed down from generation to generation which makes it much more difficult to use for genealogy.
