If a population is 50% black on their paternal side (Y-DNA) and 50% white on their maternal side (mtDNA), will the autosomal loci of that population reflect both of those ancestries equally (50/50), seeing as how autosomal loci are biparentally inherited? Or is it possible that because of autosomal recombination, both paternal and maternal genetic contributions will be skewed so that the combined autosomal loci of the population will reflect 20% black and 80% white ancestry?
