So my guess is i from my dad received an x chromosome not a y?

Question

yea that make a lllot of sense!@genetics pedigrees

Answer 1

The only DNA that relates a female to her father is autosomal.

Y DNA is passed down from father to son only.

Mitochondrial DNA is passed from mother to both sons and daughters but only her daughters pass it on to her children.

Most of your DNA is autosomal.  You get it 50-50 from both parents.  It is the only DNA that relates a female to her father or a male to his paternal grandmother or maternal grandfather.

The  xx & xy are not valuable for genealogy only for deternining s*x of a person.

Answer 2

If you recieved a Y from your father you would have been a boy.

So if you are a girl, then yes you received a X

Answer 3

Girls get an x from mom and an x from dad.  Girls are XX.

Boys get an x from mom and a y from dad.  Boys are XY.
