Dna of mexican-americans of san antonio is spanish and amerindian mixed?

Question

do the y-chrosomes of mexican-american s in san antonio,texas come from europeans and does the mithchondrial dna come from native american females?

Answer 1

it dependes on the person, thats not a question of ethnicty, its a bioogical question of that persons origins

Answer 2

Most mexican-anybodiess and most meso- and South Americans will be mostly "native american". Having a Spanish surname has nothing in particular to do with genetic heritage in the new world, although it may. The spanish surnames were assigned by the Spanish and Portuguese to put it one way. History of the new world from contact with Europeans will give a better picture.

Answer 3

The answer would be both, it comes from both Europeans (mostly Spain), and also from native american females, and also from natives from Mexico, since San Antonio used to be part of mexico.

Answer 4

Not always...
