Male Baldness Gene
Who carries this gene for male baldness, mother or father?
Thank you!
I’m reposting it in Men’s Health to see if more have an answer here.
quick genetics lesson – the sex chromosomes, X and or Y, control whether we develop as male or female. Men have an X and a Y, women have two Xs.
The gene is carried on your X chromosome. You get the X chromosome from your mother, and the Y from your father. However, women get one X from their mother and one X from their father; so look at your mother’s dad and see if he’s bald. If so, you have a 50% chance of getting the same bald gene he had.
