Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -We inherit a set of 23 chromosomes from our mothers and another set of 23 from our fathers. One of those pairs are the chromosomes that determine the biological sex of a child – girls have an XX pair and boys have an XY pair, with very rare exceptions in certain disorders.
Detailed explanation-2: -All men inherit a Y chromosome from their father, which means all traits that are only found on the Y chromosome come from dad, not mom. The Supporting Evidence: Y-linked traits follow a clear paternal lineage.
Detailed explanation-3: -Heredity, which is also known as inheritance or biological inheritance, is the passing of traits from parents to their offspring.
