My siblings and I are the equivalent of a printer running out of ink in terms of mom genes vs dads; was this all just by chance?

Brand new here and hoping I’m asking this properly to abide by rules as this is just from *true* curiosity!

So I’m 1 of 7 siblings, counting 2 half brothers, but my question is regarding my 4 full siblings.

So among us 5, I’m the middle child but also a fraternal twin. I’ve always used the analogy, when describing my and my siblings’ characteristics, that it was as if a printer ran out of mom’s ink and moved to dad’s (skipping the specific details like height, body type, facial bone structure bc while it all tracks it’s just too much to include). Is this by complete chance or is there some rhyme or reason to this??! (Descriptors below if interested).
